...lingered close to the mine entrance and was able to escape. Another group of 13 had ventured about 2.5 miles into the shaft and was trapped in a cloud of dust and carbon monoxide. One member of this group, fire boss Marty Bennett, had been traveling a few hundred feet in the rear, monitoring oxygen levels, and was killed instantly by the blast. The first group of miners ran into the shaft to try and save their friends, but was forced out by the toxic gases. As the rescue operation dragged on, with workers slowly reventilating the mine, video cameras...
...handled better on cable--mainly because they have been. The less flashy, more affecting Rescue Me, besides its divine tête-à-têtes, deals with the Catholic guilt of Leary's character (who also loses a son and pops pills). The most glaring parallels are to HBO'S Six Feet Under, with its Episcopal repression, uptight gay son and angry, artistic daughter. On Daniel, the network leash keeps tugging distractingly.

A shout from Andrew Young blocked King at the door--"Don't let him out of here!"--and hands pulled him into a sudden chorus of Happy Birthday. King wore a sheepish, captured look, recorded by one home-movie...
Sensing the growing emergency, assistant police chief Henry Lux, marching within 20 feet of King, lent his bullhorn to James Lawson. "This is Reverend Lawson speaking!" shouted the voice above the chaos. "I want everybody who's in the march, in the movement, to turn around and go back to the church." Lawson joined a heated debate in the middle of Main Street, surrounded by pleas for calm as well as battle cries of "Black Power!" and "Burn it down, baby!" King was torn between his pledge to shun violence and his promise never to abandon the movement faithful. Most...
