...hope is on the way! Also change--at least in the changing-channels sense. On top of the usual crush of midseason events (Fox's revamped American Idol) and cable debuts (Sci Fi's Battlestar Galactica), there's a rush of strike-delayed shows. If the TV waters of 2008 were becalmed, this month they've become a giant tsunami about to crash onto an island...
Like Bush, Obama has ways of going around the press corps. Whereas Dick Cheney would call in to Rush Limbaugh, Obama posts weekly addresses on YouTube, and Gibbs answers questions via video on Change.gov This media strategy not only bypasses the "filter" (to replace it with the Administration's own filter), it also gives the audience a feeling of investment in the new Administration.

...Blasé responded to several Crimson attacks in the second half of the first period, including one deflection that shut down a slapshot from freshman Alex Killhorn at 15:19 in the first and another that stifled junior Alex Biega from point blank range.

But Yale’s hustling and scrappy defense kept the puck...
...build fan bases that rival any cult star's. Two of the best closed up over the holidays. Depression Modern, 29, was a mecca for collectors of Deco furniture and artifacts; each Saturday morning, dozens of the faithful would gather outside Michael Smith's Lower Manhattan store, ready to rush in and claim his latest treasures. (I could name two TIME movie critics, one in New York, one in L.A., whose homes are little museums of Depression Modern pieces.) When a leap in rent shuttered this SoHo landmark, Smith retreated to his other boutique, Adelaide, in the West Village. (Disclosure...
Congress and the Administration are concerned about the economy but the panic and the adrenalin rush which accompanies it have not hit with a full force. The prospect of another 524,000 people being put out of work in just 30 days and the likelihood that the situation will only get worse as industries from retail and automotive cut more people may be the only thing that drives an admittedly imperfect set of bills though Congress, to the President's desk, and into the bureaucracy that must implement the programs...
