That voice can still feel unfocused. Designer Isaac Mizrahi and actress Carrie Fisher have talk shows, which are often funny but at times a little elitist. In a recent episode of Fisher's Conversations from the Edge, she tells Robin Williams, "This is a women's channel, so I'm going to have to ask for some recipes." Other programs include the upbeat talk show Pure Oxygen, the gritty real-life stories on Women and the Badge, reruns of Xena, Warrior Princess and, oddly, Love American Style, the 1970s paean to free love. Laybourne has not wavered in her mission...
...race to be Pennsylvania's next governor is considered one of the key match-ups of the 2002 elections. State Attorney General Mike Fisher is the unopposed Republican choice. But he's considered an underdog to both Democratic candidates, Bob Casey Jr. and Ed Rendell. The two Democrats are better known.

Well, maybe, but even so, the new picture looks like Shaquille O'Neal standing three feet from the basket. Though it faces sticky competition from Spider-Man two weeks before--and, in weeks to come, from Men in Black II, Austin Powers in Goldmember...
...Cooper being a premier defensive stopper to use in neutralizing Kobe, and Byron Scott rounding off the best offense in NBA history with his assassin-like three pointers, a 6’9 Magic Johnson would have a field day running circles around the 6’1 Derek Fisher. Shaq would dominate Abdul-Jabbar, who weighs about 60 pounds less, but that would be the only bright spot for the current Lakers. Worthy could double-team O’Neal often, without having to worry about his defensive assignment, Samaki Walker, being an offensive threat. Pat Riley could finally...
