...Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital in Lebanon, N.H., where since 1990 he has painted 17 historical murals. (Among his other subjects: the Shaker sect, Native Americans and a New England fair.) He is also writing a book on the history of drawing, teaching female inmates at a Vermont state prison how to make a landscape mural and starting sketches for a portrait commission. Oh, and this fall he's off on a Fulbright fellowship to Colombia for two months, where he will teach painting in Spanish, a language he taught himself at 64. He has won two other Fulbrights to Latin America...
INDICTED. Four men, KEVIN JAMES, 29, LEVAR WASHINGTON, 25, GREGORY PATTERSON, 21, and HAMMAD SAMANA, 21; of a terrorist conspiracy to attack military sites, synagogues, Israeli officials and other targets in Southern California; in Santa Ana, Calif. The plot was allegedly hatched in prison by James, the leader of a militant Islamic gang, who was aided on the outside by his onetime fellow inmate Washington. All four face life in prison...

Once in the clink, Scofield sets in motion a complex Swiss watch of an escape plan. He tracks down brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell), who is being held in isolation. He feigns diabetes to get access, for unknown reasons, to the medical facilities. He enlists the help of a Mafia boss (Peter Stormare, playing against Nordic type) by finding--don't ask how--the witness protection-sheltered stoolie who fingered him. He cozies...
...series about a prison break would seem to carry the seeds of its own premature conclusion (Scofield must bust his bro out before his execution in three months). But there is a wider, more shadowy scheme at work: people in the government badly want Lincoln dead and silenced. That could sustain a long run, as well as intraprison intrigue, including a simmering racial rumble. And who knows? Maybe, 24-style, Scofield could break out of a bigger and better prison every season (Rikers Island! Guantánamo!). Sure, that would take some strenuous plotting gymnastics. But in its confident debut, Break...
