...Manor, who have followed in the paw prints of The Lion King's Timon to raise their species' star in Hollywood. The Kalahari nature show is Animal Planet's biggest hit, a saga of turf wars, sex, betrayal and cuddly pups. It's manna from TV heaven: all the drama of human life, none of the salaries or liability issues...
...because we love. Nobody ever called the NBA the No Fun League. The season hasn't even started, and it's already the best drama on TNT, with a Jason Kidd groping allegation, Chris Kaman cutting off his caveman hair, Stephon Marbury getting busy with an intern in a truck, and a Gilbert Arenas blog post titled "Man, I'm Shooting 4-for-24."

His game, frequently, is the oddball juxtaposition: moral philosophy and gymnastics (Jumpers); Fermat's last theorem and Byron's love poetry (Arcadia); James Joyce and Vladimir Lenin (Travesties). "Tom said to me once that he decides on one play, and then shortly after decides on a different one," says Trevor Nunn, director...
