...Hollywood's pixie of choice--has made a career of playing such characters (Election, Legally Blonde) with a stylized, satiric wink. Silverstone plays it perfectly straight and dares you to sneer instead of melt. And she wins. We ignore that most of Kate's setups fail and that, Cupid that she is, she can't see that her puppy-eyed architect client (David Conrad) is her dream guy. It makes no sense, but Silverstone's and Miss Match's charms make you see the show's flaws as strengths. That's love for you. --Reported by Jeanne McDowell/Los Angeles

Belinda Cupid, research coordinator for the Association for Motor Neurone Disease (as the illness is called in Britain), said there are some early indications that excessive athletic activity may contribute to ALS. Other potential factors: exposure to pesticides, chemicals and heavy metals. The relative scarcity of research makes drawing conclusions difficult. The latest...
Lady Sarah Spencer, Diana's sister, would later say she was "playing cupid" when she invited the Prince of Wales to her family's Althorp estate for a shooting weekend in November 1977. Sarah was probably joking, since she had had designs on Charles herself. Her sister hardly looked like competition, standing shyly by in a checked shirt and an anorak. Nor was the future princess greatly impressed herself: "What a sad man," she thought of Charles.
