...family's estate on Walker's Point in Maine. He was joined there, as he will be this weekend, by Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who plays Al Gore. Jim Lehrer is played by media adviser Stuart Stevens, who has sharpened his skills by watching tapes of the PBS news anchor. The governor will practice in his "gym," a freestanding dwelling with bunk beds, exercise equipment and small kitchen. The room is so small, aides will sit on the floor. The podium will be exactly 48 inches, to match the one being used at the three debates, and tonight...
...note of the ways in which their parents are dying--and trying to do something about it. The growing movement to improve the way we die is the subject of the special report that follows and a separate documentary, created by Bill and Judith Moyers, airing this week on PBS. (See story on page 74.) These are the stories of people who have managed to die more comfortably, who have demanded better care from their doctors, who have talked about what's next with their families. If they are lucky, they have discovered how to cast some light over...
...journalism, which includes the use of community networks, has become a Moyers trademark. After 46 years of working together, Bill, 66, and Judith, 65, have created an oeuvre that has in turn attracted its own audience.

Seated around a table, and moderated loosely by PBS newsman Jim Lehrer, the candidates won't so much debate as discuss. Bush's folksy demeanor should play well against Gore's stiffness, and the format will allow Bush to guide the conversation toward his comfort zone...
...created an outrageously false impression of his native Australia. In response to the "Crocodile Dundee" stereotypes, Hughes lets fly this week with a look at the Olympic-host country that is based on his six-part documentary, Australia: Beyond the Fatal Shore, which airs this Tuesday through Thursday on PBS. Hughes, who is back in top form while still mending from a near fatal car crash last year, calls the series "a corrective to the very sketchy and almost invariably wrong picture of Australia that most Americans have. We are not your lost Wild West." Britain's Guardian describes...
