...drug kingpin in the Baltimore projects, he's undermined by higher-ups who want quick, low-level "buy and bust" stings to generate p.r., not the painstaking investigation required to ensnare the bosses. The series also plumbs the Byzantine world of the criminals, focusing on D'Angelo Barksdale (Larry Gilliard Jr.), a midlevel captain who wants to rise in his organization but questions its pointless violence. The two men are enemies, yet both, says Simon, are "middle managers ... in a world where everybody's working for Enron. Whatever you commit to as an institution bigger than yourself, in the modern...
...Spencer Gilliard, the program's sergeant major, remembers Koernke as a "so-and-so," and not just because Gilliard is black and Koernke had complained publicly about "niggers and Jews."

The reporter: Editor John Carter. The groom: Editor Carter...
...family, so often solved, has been solved again. In the expressive words of Le Matin, Paris Journal: "General Janin [onetime head of the French Mission in Siberia] has spoken." It appears that the General was given several urns of human ashes by the Russian General Diterichs and M. Gilliard, tutor to the little Tsarevitch.
