...says the conversation was blunt: "'T.R.,' I told him, 'you are the one movable part of this machinery of death.'" Eventually, a judge made an extraordinary threat to take away Paulding's law license if any new evidence about Ross's competence emerged after he had been executed. An hour from death, Ross backed down--in order to save his lawyer's neck, he says. The aborted execution cost the state of Connecticut $289,000 in wasted preparations and brought fresh anguish to the victims' families. The execution has been rescheduled for May 11, and Ross says he remains committed...
...that part on television from my hotel room before I got there, and the problem was that this f__ing punk town that we work in, nobody in that f__ing place booed the dumb joke. Chris Rock's really funny and talented, and in a three-hour set you're allowed to make bad jokes, but the audience should respond. Instead, it's just a bunch of schadenfreude-ists sitting there wanting Jude's parts and looks...
...people started telling me how All in the Family had changed our culture. I didn't know what people were talking about. I thought if a couple thousand years of the Judeo-Christian ethic hadn't corrected racism and lack of equal opportunity and so forth, my little half-hour situation comedy wasn't going to do it either.

Meanwhile, Coulter had emerged as a star in the 24-hour news culture that flowered in the mid-'90s. In 1995, giddy after Republicans took Congress for the first time in 40 years, she had moved from an anonymous corporate-law job in Manhattan to the Washington office of a freshman Republican Senator, Spencer Abraham. Flirty and quick-witted and fun--ex-conservative David Brock says in his book Blinded by the Right that "Ann seemed to live on nothing but chardonnay and cigarettes"--Coulter charmed both Democrats and Republicans. She already knew (or had dated) many young conservatives...
...hour-long program has been a hit for the BBC and rights owner Sony. Filming starts in May on a second series, following a January-February run in which viewership swelled with each Tuesday, 8 p.m. airing. Why do people watch? Maybe to cringe, learn or revel with the occasional winner, whose businesses have included tailor-made clothes for women, beanbag-like hammocks, and mushrooms. Just as in real VC handshakes, deals can unravel during postshow due diligence. There's a Clay Aiken effect too. Like the Idol loser who flourished, Dragon rejects have found cash elsewhere. Dragons' Den looks...
