...sitcom, life is considerably more relaxed. In one recent show the characters are lounging around their neighborhood coffee bar, pondering one of those sophomoric questions that even most sophomores have outgrown: What would you do if you were omnipotent? (Says Phoebe, the spacey blond: End hunger, save the rain forests and get bigger boobs.) Later on, the show's three women spend most of an evening trying to catch a glimpse of George Stephanopoulos, who is supposedly eating pizza in an apartment across the street. By the end of the half hour, the whole gang is back together, playing--talk...
...trade, for some 20 years, while a succession of KGB chiefs in London were fooled into believing that Larry was actually working for them. Despite his skill as a double agent, Tim's protaga retains a belief in his own innocence, a Byronic flair with women and a hunger for lost causes.

He could have a chance. Says Charles Cook, editor of the Cook Political...

Since then, the ex-president has taken much of the blame for the collapse of Mexico's economy. A hunger strike staged to demand that his name be cleared has done little to enhance his standing. Salinas and his family reportedly flew to New York Saturday after his hand-picked successor, President Ernesto Zedillo, asked him to leave the country. The White House today said it had no role...
