...writes a book of his opinions -- a $22 souvenir program, really, of the radio show -- and it sits for weeks atop the New York Times best-seller list; with 1.1 million copies in print a month after its publication date, The Way Things Ought to Be is the hottest hard-cover nonfiction title since Iacocca. Then he tries TV, and within a few weeks his late-night harangue is beating Whoopi Goldberg in the ratings and is up there with David Letterman and Arsenio Hall. These days, Rush is so busy that, as he lamented on the radio recently...

Now he is the centerpiece of nbc's hottest sitcom. Since the series made its debut in January 1991, Seinfeld has improved steadily in the ratings, especially among young, upscale viewers searching for life after thirtysomething.
