...point of his presidency. His trip to the U.N. was panned for winning no new support. On Capitol Hill, Administration officials were being pounded for faulty postwar planning and facing charges from Democrats that they still weren't coming clean about the costs.

Sure, you'll sit through Friends. But what about the lousy show that follows it? This week NBC launches an experiment to try to keep viewers glued to the set from show to show.

It comes in three handy sizes?10 GB ($300, 2,500 songs), 20 GB ($400, 5,000 songs) and a new 40-GB ($500, 10,000 songs) mini-monster. Copying tracks over to the iPod is easy and almost automatic.
