GREG SMITH is not a mama's boy. The freshman at Randolph-Macon College had a very sound reason for bringing both parents along on his first day of school: he's only 10 years old. The boy wonder was able to complete 10 school grades in three years. This is just as well, as his plans for the future include getting doctorates in political science and biomedical and aerospace engineering, curing cancer, colonizing space and, natch, becoming President of the U.S. The latter shouldn't be a problem as the young frosh has resolved not to let other students...
...mysterious disease seems to have gripped ER. The show's cast keeps finding strange reasons to leave the top-rated series.

Freaks, NBC insists, aims more "mature"; Popular, says its co-creator Murphy, is "a comedy...we don't look at this as a high school show." Manchester Prep is Dynasty; Roswell is Beauty...
...MOVING Here's yet another reason to exercise. A report on 60,000 women shows that exercise can help maintain gallbladder health. Engaging in moderate activity at least two hours a week--walking, dancing or aerobics--can cut the odds of developing painful gallstones by a third...
