...limousine-liberal suburbs, the Eighth has sent just three Congressmen to Washington since 1946: John F. Kennedy, former House Speaker Tip O'Neill and Joseph P. Kennedy II. It is a shrine to old-school liberalism and one of the safest Democratic seats in the country. And so, when Joe Kennedy announced his retirement earlier this year, it wasn't long before 10 local Democrats had swarmed into the race to replace...
Spencer, who worked for Joe Kennedy, insists that Clapprood is more than a celebrity. And he's right. She served six years in the state legislature, then ran a credible race for Lieutenant Governor in 1990. Her loss was blamed on her famously acerbic running mate, Boston University President John Silber, who was defeated by William Weld. Clapprood has a record of involvement in groups that help poor women and children, and she is trying to exploit Flynn's biggest vulnerability in such a liberal district, his opposition to abortion. She touts herself as the pro-choice candidate...
...three new judge shows are opening for business. This week Judge Mills Lane debuts, starring the tough-talking Nevada judge who just happened to be the referee the night Mike Tyson masticated Evander Holyfield's ear. Next month brings Judge Joe Brown, a tough-talking Memphis, Tenn., judge who just happened to preside over the reopening of the James Earl Ray case. And even Judge Joseph Wapner, the pioneer TV judge, has been called in to fill a vacancy. Beginning next month, he'll be trying animal-related cases on cable's Animal Planet network. Meanwhile, Playboy TV has started...
Lyttle must think there's a lot of pain out there, because he's also producing Judge Joe Brown. Brown is the only TV judge who continues to sit actively on the bench (he's using some of the vacation he accumulated over eight years to tape his show). Like Sheindlin, he rolls his eyes and yells at the punks in his video court ("Don't call the court 'Dude,'" he tells one youth). Brown, 51, grew up in South Central Los Angeles and has the fervor of a missionary, spouting buzz words like "com-mun-i-ty." His producers...
Like big cities, Bartlett has an appealingly awkward mix of influences. His clothes still have the homoerotic scent that marked his earlier collections, but the aroma is now more a celebration of the male form. Woven into this body-love is a hint of bookish geekiness, as if G.I. Joe had been given Gomer Pyle's soul. Or as Bartlett describes it: "Think the U.P.S. man meets Paul Bowles, Hello Sailor meets Hello Kitty, the Army Corps meets Lilly Pulitzer...
