...aristocratic drawl. The final broadcast shows clips of Johnny Carson and Robin Williams hilariously impersonating Buckley. But neither pretender could put an interviewee off balance like the Firing Line host, who at last week's taping leaned in to one of his guests, the liberal New York City politician Mark Green, and said, "You've been on the show close to 100 times over the years.

...Hence, the action will take place in both ages. Imperial warriors, caked with the dust of conquest, tramp through the Coliseum like bulky action figures. Their leader Titus (Hopkins) is a straight-spoken military man of the past; his rival, the emperor Saturninus (Cumming), is pure oil of modern politician, oozing endearments and threats, riding through Rome in an open limo with a bubble top, seizing and betraying Titus' daughter Lavinia (Fraser).

He was not a professional politician, but heads of state and the world's leading politicians paid attention to his words. Sakharov was an instrumental member of the team that created the [Soviet] hydrogen bomb, but he was also one of the first people to realize the danger posed to humanity by nuclear weapons. Moved by his conscience and his ethical convictions, academician Sakharov dared to publicly challenge the all-powerful machine of the totalitarian state. In the hardest years of the Soviet system...
