...Titans (NBC, 8 p.m.) Produced by trash-TV king Aaron Spelling, starring Yasmine Bleeth (yes, this may be the first network series named after its costar's breasts), Victoria Principal and Jack Wagner, this Beverly Hills family-saga soap is as good as you'd expect it to be, and worse. True, Aaron Spelling has proven before that you'll never go broke telling the American public that rich people are miserable. (Though Spelling seems pretty well contented himself, so go figure.) But at least his latest successful stand at the soap genre, "Melrose Place," did it in an original...
...Gilmore Girls (WB, 8 p.m.) Let's be honest. You are not going to watch this show. You will be watching "Friends" instead.

Only 5% consider a national newspaper to be their main source of news about the Iraq...
...Spectator, meanwhile, leads today's paper with a critical new development: Video shot by Univision, the Spanish-language network, clearly shows a man on stage kicking a protestor. That throws a bit of a wrench into the current outcry, since there has yet to emerge any visual documentation of kicking or punching on the part of protestors. Comments the Blue and White blog: "You don't have to speak the Spanish for footage of Minutemen kicking protesters to change how you look at things." Of course, the brawl was still provoked by the protestors who stormed the stage. The kicker...
