...most prolific of the producers, having poured out 30 specials in the past five years, as well as the upcoming Fox show Cheating Spouses and ABC's World's Deadliest Storms Caught on Tape (which will air on Feb. 18, before the final part of the Stephen King mini-series Storm of the Century). In addition, Nash--who is also developing sitcoms--has a whole new series, World's Most Amazing Videos (previously promoted as World's Scariest Videos), premiering on NBC on March 3. It's kind of like World's Funniest Videos, with the keen distinction that...
...hard to blame parents like Alexis Rasley of Oak Park, Ill., if they occasionally get too involved. Last fall a homework assignment for fifth-graders at the public Horace Mann School was to build a mini-space station that accounted for food, water, waste treatment, radiation shielding and zero gravity. Rasley's son Taylor, 10, spent countless maddening hours toiling at a basement countertop surrounded by cut-open soda bottles. "He just kept sitting there saying, 'I don't know what to do,'" Rasley says. "When the frustration level gets that high, you say, 'O.K., I'm going to help...

That is the elegance in the Lott proposal. After the mini-trial, there would be two votes on whether to conduct a full-blown trial, each requiring a two-thirds vote to go ahead. In the probable event they would fail, the trial would adjourn and the Senate would take up censure. Temporarily setting aside the messy issue of how to craft a censure resolution that would satisfy all sides, the obsessively punctilious Lott had devised an exit strategy that seemed to have something in it for everyone. Conservatives would get a trial, albeit a brief one, and a chance...
...Senate, Washington's Slade Gorton, was quietly negotiating a deal with Joseph Lieberman, the Connecticut Democrat who had strongly criticized Clinton's behavior but who is advocating censure. Acting as surrogates for the Senate leaders, Gorton and Lieberman were the original authors of the plan for a mini-trial without witnesses. But Lott was deeply involved, calling Lieberman on several occasions as the plan came together...
