...self-described "aggressive" comic--a dynamic ball of anger whose act is loaded with four-and 12-letter epithets--also used to joke that the networks would be scared to give him a sitcom like his more cuddly Kings co-star Steve Harvey. Well, that joke's over. With The Bernie Mac Show (Fox, Wednesdays starting Nov. 14, 9p.m. E.T.), Mac is about to become America's most provocative and (trust us) strangely likeable...

Well, it's no laughing matter anymore. In recent years, more Americans have been working part time. Some are moonlighting for extra money. Others put two or three part-time jobs together. Still others prefer part-time work because it gives them more time to care for children or elderly parents. But now that hard times have hit, the part-timers are getting...
