Despite the fact that I wish his prominence could be dismissed as an excellent product prediction, I think Elmo has really become a role model for the millennium. He is properly a symbol of wonder for the end of the 20th century, a figure of endless wonder at a world that unfolds before him. Perhaps Elmo, always energetic about exploring the unknown, is the proper role model for us as we face the complex problems like social security and Medicare that face our country and the complicated advances like the Internet that hint at the future. Perhaps Elmo...
...murder mysteries get tawdrier with the telling. And probing the netherworld of Los Angeles for Ennis Cosby's killer is unlikely to produce an exception. In the end, the tale of fathers and sons that made it so compelling may be merely a small part of some endless legal epic. But that facet may prove to be the most enduring one. Ennis Cosby was Bill Cosby's legacy. And his son's legacy may be a young man in New York City. When Walter Stephen Douglas heard of the murder, his heart was not really with the celebrity dad most...

There is something about following sports, though, that, besides being a connection to the outside world, is also a release of energy, a fun diversion.

Instead the movie piggybacks its own little story, about the growing respect of the two women, onto the dreadfully edifying drama of the Sands campaign, including his election to Parliament on his deathbed. There's a power in these scenes that...
Since Kay killed Jackie, the general public has reached a greater understanding of the potentially lethal relationship between an abuser and a victim--thanks in part to the endless examination of O.J. Simpson's volatile marriage to Nicole Brown Simpson. Police officers, judges, doctors and lawyers have begun to get educated about the "battered woman's syndrome"--the psychological dependency that keeps a spouse trapped in a violent relationship, repeatedly forgiving her abuser and even sometimes blaming herself for the attacks. In recent years, legal protections for victims of domestic abuse have also been dramatically strengthened in ways that might...
