When the bidding war quickly reached hundreds of dollars, Gosselaar threw in autographed photos of himself from NYPD Blue, his latest digs. The contest—in the end, between Jaime Davila ’07, and Crimson editors J. Patrick Coyne ’07, Paul M. Soper ’06 and Timothy J.

In 1998 the PTC launched a membership drive that Bozell says netted 500,000 members. (The group now claims a million.) "We awoke a sleeping giant," he says...
...American sports league to cancel a season owing to a labor disagreement, people reacted with the same surprise they had when Max Schmelling died a few weeks ago: Hockey is still alive? Complaining about hockey being canceled is like trying to throw a party for the last episode of NYPD Blue. ESPN doubled its ratings by replacing the cancelled NHL games with a Michael Madsen drama about poker called Tilt. They could have matched NHL ratings with a Steve Buscemi musical about shuffleboard...
