...very same readers who chided Mandel for being overly critical of a single actor in the show also wrote such comments as: "among the best reviews I have ever read," "I'm glad someone had the balls to print a pan of a show," "dead on" and "I loved the review." There is a big difference between good reviews and well-written reviews. Mandle's review was very bad, but it was very well-written...
...mainly for older children. Blue's Clues has a rigid structure: in each episode, a young man named Steve (played by Steven Burns, who could not be more likable) tries to figure out the answer to a question. Blue, his animated pet dog, provides clues by putting his paw print on three objects. For example, in one episode, Blue, wishing Steve to guess what he wanted to drink with his snack, put his print on a cup, a straw and a cow.

Although the Oxford philosopher was casual about his writings--he never attempted a major book--his lectures and scholarly papers, including Russian Thinkers and Against the Current, established Berlin's reputation as a formidably learned defender of liberal values. His most famous and influential essay, The Hedgehog and the Fox (1953), divided humankind into those who have one big idea and those who have many smaller ones. Berlin's hedgehogs included Plato and Dante; among the foxes he named Aristotle and Shakespeare. Although too modest to make such...
