...eyed Henry Lee Lucas, 48, has confessed to committing as many as 600 slayings between 1975 and 1983. On the basis of Lucas' confessions, police closed some 210 previously unsolved homicide cases in 26 states. But the Dallas Times Herald last week published a copyrighted story by Reporters Hugh Aynesworth and Jim Henderson contending that Lucas' claims of serial murders were a perverse hoax.

At this point everyone applauded, again, just like in an old Fred Astaire movie." A Roman bacchanal, with Hef as Caligula...
HOUSE (FOX, TUESDAYS, 9 P.M. E.T.) Perhaps because watching one snide Brit isn't enough for America, Hugh Laurie has reaped the benefits of airing after Simon Cowell's American Idol. Laurie camouflages his English accent, but not that British gift for precise derision, as Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant but nasty diagnostician. House is so gifted not in spite of but because of his cynicism--his misanthropy and suspicion make him the ruthlessly probing skeptic his patients need. And Laurie's portrayal turns House from a routine disease-of-the-week exercise into a chess match with illness...
