...nitty-gritty details of White House life. For one thing, the dialogue--courtesy of Aaron Sorkin, who brought us A Few Good Men and the critically acclaimed but short-lived "Sports Night"--is witty, sharp and delivered at a pace so dizzyingly fast that the viewers ride the crest of an adrenaline high from the first strains of the opening music to when the credits roll. The lines are delivered by a superb ensemble cast, who interact with each other so flawlessly that one is reminded of the glory years of "ER." No detail is left unpolished; the sets...
...made commercials disappear. The 167 people watching the NBC Olympics can testify to that. But you'll find more spots using animation instead of live action, and possibly more "golden oldies"; actress Bonnie Bartlett, who plays Sela Ward's mom on the ABC series "Once and Again," says Crest just re-released a commercial she shot in the 1960s. There are also few new spots that feature celebrity appearances or star voice-overs.

That leaves them with something they hate to do: nothing. "You see me spending all this time talking to you on the phone?" barks one top commercial agent, who sounds as if he could have hired himself from Central Casting...

And, as in politics, the presidential selection process will become a matter of women occasionally replacing the white males who have previously been the only type of person to hold--or to be considered for--the position...
Barbara sits there, big pearls, white polka dots on vivid blue. The Silver Fox never looked foxier, needlepoint in her experienced hands. Madame La Bush. Pointed needle rising and swooping. Is that a new Bush-family crest to celebrate the dynasty? She launches a bemused but killer look--what she's making is a backgammon board. The dynasty idea drives her nuts--and him too. Her life's work is to love a family and make sure they love theirs. She says a few tart things about politics now and then. She gets away with murder and chuckles mischievously...
