Tempted, almost certainly, by the brakeless popularity of the syndicated series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, Fox this week launches Roar (Mondays, 9 p.m. ET), a show about a reluctant prince named Conor (Heath Ledger) who in 400 A.D. fought to save the last remaining Celtic land (what would become Ireland) from the nasty, enslaving Romans.

Bank president Robert Studer insists that no Holocaust-related documents were destroyed but admits that the shredding was "clearly a mistake, and we have to take responsibility for it." Studer, whom a Swiss court found...
