Sadly, the show treats this hackneyed six-degrees-of-fornication observation like a major insight. Like Sex and the City, Word clearly wants to be a font of urban-sexual trend spotting, romantic wisdom and magazine-ready catchphrases. (It ham-handedly drops words like hasbian--a former sapphist--as if to scream, "Look! We're cool! We get it!") But it could use more of Sex's sense of irony.

All in all, not bad for her first 48 hours in town. "A combination...
...likely imprisonment is not just a tragic prospect for Russia’s wealthiest individual. Russia will lose its most trusted entrepreneur, which will make foreign investors more cautious. It has taken years for the Russian economy to buck the perception of dysfunctional cronyism; the latest ham-fisted attack on the most prominent Russian industrialist—and its seizure of 44 percent of Yukos—only makes the business climate more unpredictable and unattractive. Indeed, capital has once again started to flee from the country, and it now looks as though an anticipated merger of Yukos with Exxon...
