Dramatized "re-creations" of real-life events are suddenly everywhere. Tabloid shows like A Current Affair, Fox's America's Most Wanted and NBC's Unsolved Mysteries use them to re-enact just about everything from grisly murders to purported UFO sightings. Now the technique has entered a region some thought sacrosanct. It is the centerpiece of two network prime-time news shows: NBC's Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (which drew good ratings in three outings in late summer and will return for three more this season) and the just-introduced Saturday Night with Connie Chung, on which Jones appeared...

Attorney General Neil Hartigan, the most likely Democratic candidate to try for Thompson's job next year, has announced his personal opposition to abortion and, as the state's top lawyer, is obligated to uphold some restrictions the state did enact. So which one is angling for the pro-choice vote? Guess again. Thompson's vetoes were cast on the ground that the legislation involved was unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade. But after the Supreme Court's Webster decision last week suggested that those restrictions might be constitutional after all, the Governor...
