...inspired by Los Angeles' Rampart police scandal. But it asks a question that is all too relevant in the days of liberty vs. security: How far do we want our protectors to go in our name? There's no simple answer. Mackey (played by Michael Chiklis, of the lame sitcom Daddio, with surprising cocksure charisma), runs the elite strike-team unit in one of L.A.'s. toughest precincts.

Even if Elaine Stritch had not set a new standard for the one-woman stage memoir, Arthur's look back at her career would be a lame specimen of the genre.

Going into the games, a number of snowboarding's top riders dismissed the Olympics as totally lame, an overstuffed competition run by Ice Age fossils who still think that curling is a sport. The best female rider, Tara Dakides, isn't to be found. Yet both the men's and women's halfpipe events have instantly become the premier competition in the X universe. It is, as they say, totally sick. Yes, the X-Games are still way cool, but all those teenager riders...
