...Bush has chosen John Ashcroft to be Attorney General. The two people who will presumably have the principal responsibility for filling vacancies on the Supreme Court have both publicly stated--Bush in answering an interviewer's question, Ashcroft in a law-review article--that Clarence Thomas is their ideal justice.

Forget all those niche channels in the low 70s on your cable box. The Sci-Fi Channel and the Albanian Home Shopping Network have no place in Bush?s home. Watch for the nation to follow suit and return to family shows such as ?Touched By An Angel.? A Michael Landon revival could follow...
