...rocks and high-powered rifles too often, how do we teach them self-control? Last week Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden, now 14 and 12, were found "delinquent" for blasting away at fellow students outside their Jonesboro, Ark., school in March, killing five and wounding 10. They got the maximum punishment possible for kids their age: they will be confined by state juvenile authorities until they turn 21. But it's worse than it sounds: Johnson's father was horrified at the thought that his boy would be sent to the Alexander juvenile facility, a place where abuse and molestation...

Christopher did apply and "let out a whooping scream" when he won the maximum amount: $8,000.

"I would have given more, but they didn't want any more," added Geffen.

Now he has created his first TV show, and it has--in milder form--the surreality and edge of his earlier work. Based on an Elmore Leonard novel, Maximum Bob stars Beau Bridges as a colorful, corrupt judge in a small Florida town. He's the kind of guy who will avoid paying his ex-wife alimony by putting her in jail. Amusing, smoothly put together and featuring a likable cast, this summer series augurs well for Sonnenfeld...
