...Senate. His victory last week marked the triumph in the usually sober Senate of the breed of young, brash and very conservative Republican that took over the House when Newt Gingrich swept the G.O.P. to power in 1994. Lott is a supply-side tax cutter and a fervent deregulator, though his enthusiasm for deficit reduction withers when it comes to Pentagon pork, which he adroitly delivers to his home state...

Nintendo's competitors, of course, are hardly disappearing. The Sony Playstation has acquired a fervent following, and in Los Angeles this week Sega will be trumpeting the arrival of a 32-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog, a soaring game called Nights, and a Net Link telephone hookup that will allow Sega Saturn owners to use their systems as on ramps to the Information Highway...

...energy at the center of Paul Rudnick's new play about the twin evils of censorship and ambition (we're talking art and politics, of course) is its fervent desire to shock. Rudnick, who wrote the Obie-Award-winning "Jeffrey," has mastered the minefield of homosexuality and a Republican Congress--turning up a gem of a play amidst such well-traveled territory. Though this jouncy, stunningly designed production never quite stoops low enough to outrage, the pace is uptempo and the lines clever enough to jolt even the savviest Village person into a laugh of bemused recognition...

Piedade, meanwhile, is a beautiful, porcelain-like young woman, of the purest mind and flesh; she often quotes passages of Faust in the original German and she loves Baltar with a fervent--and slightly incestuous--daughterly respect. Helene pretends to desire Baltar, but she'd rather get a little attention from her husband, who values his research more than anything, except, perhaps, the chance to deflower his librarian. The remaining two inhabitants of the convent, a pair of housekeepers, sneak around the buildings, spying...

...show is a cherished TV institution. It boasts a fan club of 60,000 fervent viewers, many of them high school graduates. In 128 two-hour episodes, it has consistently delivered the most sophisticated (and some of the loopiest) humor on the tube. Really, it's one of the best reasons to be alive in the '90s. And now, after seven years on cable TV, Mystery Science Theater 3000--the show about the guy and the two robots who watch cheesy movies and make jokes about them--is spinning off into a book, a CD-ROM, a series of videocassettes...
