...Long before Fox News, TV was a medium of talk. Actress Dody Goodman, 93, played Louise Lasser's mother on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, but was better known as dizzy racontress on Jack Paar's late-night couch. Les Crane, 74, filled ABC's 11:30 slot against Johnny Carson with an issues show, contentiously thrusting his boom mike into the audience. Four decades later, the folksier Tony Snow, 53, hosted a Fox show as an out-of-town tryout for his job as White House Press Secretary. Jack Narz, 85, hosted the "fixed" game show Dotto; got rehabilitated...
Shortly after arriving in Louisiana, Lynch was brought to Foster's rented, ranch-style compound in Bogalusa. It sits behind a rusting fence, along a two-lane road, across from a cemetery and a sign that greets visitors: "BOGALUSA - Welcome to Our City." Jack Strain Jr., the sheriff of St. Tammany Parish, says the initiation ceremony began swiftly, and included the shaving of Lynch's head, the white hooded suits, the pledging of loyalty to the Klan, the burning of torches. It extended into Saturday. Then, on Sunday, Strain says, Foster led his group of disciples - including...
...trial is likely to be good theater. Genson and Fitzgerald have already been trading jabs in the legal back-and-forth during the impeachment proceedings and in the run-up to the indictment.

And all the talk has an effect on the shape...
...Like 24 (Jack Bauer and his ticking-time-bomb scenarios return Jan. 11), BSG tests the morality and rationalizations of an age of fear. Roslin is idealistic but possibly blinded by belief; Adama is high-handed but often right to be that way. Even swashbuckling pilot Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) is unstable as often as heroic. The Cylons, meanwhile, prove a fascinating society, racked with doubt and riven by debate over their religious mission...
...NCAA tournament, Williams returned to his alma mater as defensive coordinator. In 2005, he worked under former Texas coach Dick Tomey at San Jose State as the defensive coordinator. The next year, he moved to the Jaguars, where he has served as a defensive assistant under head coach Jack Del Rio. Williams steps into the shoes of Jack Siedlecki, who had lost seven of his last eight against Harvard, including an embarrassing 37-6 drubbing in 2007 that ruined an undefeated season for the Elis. Siedlecki finished 70-49 in 12 seasons at Yale, winning Ivy championships...
