The former chief of staff to the Governor of Arkansas has gone through a transformation since the campaign. Gone are the sweatshirt and slacks. The new Wright can afford an expensive haircut and smart, stylish dresses. Still the same, however, is her fierce loyalty to her old boss.

The latter story line was echoed in the recent two-hour season finale of Melrose Place, a currently hot nighttime soap that was floundering until old pro Heather Locklear -- a sort...
...year-old guys buy '66 Corvettes?" asks producer John Davis, who is developing Gentle Ben and The Rifleman. "Because they always loved the car but couldn't afford one when they were teenagers. They're reliving their childhood. It's the same thing with these films." Producer Paula Wagner, who is developing a big-budget update of Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise, goes further. "Television has become our contemporary mythology," she says. Making her case for Mission: Impossible, Wagner notes that Shakespeare based his plays on Plutarch's Lives. "The source material may add depth and richness, but ultimately...
