...Nash is right about the audience. This past November, the last time Fox ran four weeks of shockumentaries against NBC's Thursday-night lineup, it beat the peacock network in males 18 to 49 and adults 18 to 34. John Miller, NBC's executive vice president of advertising, promotion and event programming, admits that he went to Nash after losing those nights. "The Fox specials are edgier than what we're going to do, but they did very well going up against our Thursday nights," he says. Moreover, an hour of shocks costs only $500,000, about a third...

He told a story about how he and Clinton had once survived a rough plane landing in Arkansas: "We jumped out and ran away unscathed ?- to the dismay of every budding politician in Arkansas." He recited constitutional history and discussed patriotism, and at one point almost began to cry. He talked about the "human element" in the case against Bill Clinton, and that was what Bumpers himself brought to the Senate floor. Though...
Congratulations to my fellow first-years who "ran the route" in this year's Primal Scream, despite the icy face of adversity. Bravo to everyone who chose to ignore the taunts of sideline voyeurs and Purple Hearts to those who sustained injuries from the snowballs of fully clothed cowards. Tradition is one of the cornerstones of Harvard University. Each has special meaning for those Harvard men and women who participate. PETER A. OVERLAND...
