...that regard, at least. On other matters--whether it can put together an untainted administration to oversee the Games, whether it can raise enough money to support the Games, whether its reputation as an oasis of virtue in a desert of iniquity is forever forfeit--Salt Lake has nothing but woe. "We are stunned and bruised," said Utah Governor Mike Leavitt, who along with Salt Lake mayor Deedee Corradini controlled appointments to the S.L.O.C.'s board of trustees. "This does not represent the values of this community...
...know how to handle their fifteen seconds, with the exception of Sosa, who blew kisses to the crowd and nearly broke into a home run trot around the House Chamber.

"I can't eat the bahhhg-tasting thing!" Figuring he was a fellow critic, I struck up a conversation...
...three all-news cable outfits, which have less ad revenue to worry about losing anyway. Anyone who wants continuous coverage will be turning to them. Great stories often change news-viewing habits: "Nightline" was born amid the Iran hostage crisis, and CNN came of age with its coverage of Desert Storm. "Impeachment gives each of the cable networks the opportunity to establish the credibility of their reporting and analysis," says Tynan.
