...everyone something to complain about. It's the hub that connects many people to their community. "The News was like an old friend. You weren't sure why you spent time with it, but you did, because it was such an old friend," says Charles Eisendrath, who runs the Knight-Wallace Foundation at the University of Michigan. How does a city deal with that loss? What, if anything, is irreplaceable in the transition from print...
...revisits those dark places where feelings of self-doubt and shame linger. But rather than centering on ethnic identity this time, The Eternal Smile's trilogy straddles the line between reality and fantasy. In its opening story, "Duncan's Kingdom" (previously published in comic-book form in 1999), a knight embarks on a dangerous mission in order to win the hand of his beloved princess, but along the way gets distracted - in a send-up of the grail quest - by the hunt for something called Snappy Cola.

His iteration of Knight Rider was sponsored by Ford. American Express was all over Restaurant, which, while not a lasting hit, was something of a marketing juggernaut. This kind of barrier-busting is what, officially, Silverman will be doing with the new company he's forming with Diller. It seems a natural fit and a no-brainer decision for both of them. But as Silverman learned the hard way at NBC, in entertainment, nothing is as easy as it looks...
