...last week from those who lost loved ones in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. In the first of a series of videoconferences hooking up victims' families--one group in New York, the other in Oklahoma--a pained Gardner asked, "Did any of you experience anything similar?" Images on the screen showed the Midwesterners look at each other and shrug...
...cultural as a political divide, manifest as much in Fox's look as in its talk. Watching Fox News is like sitting inside a very patriotic video game.

Or inside the box, as the case...
...many times by brain-fried Bay Area hippies who just had to sort out the tangled lineage of Elvish Kings. You don't find nerds that dedicated today. Who needs to hallucinate visions of Frodo and his trippy friends when Peter Jackson's vision does it so well on screen? Of course, Jackson spent $300 million on the story?a vastly larger budget than that available to two earlier screen versions of Tolkien, both animated and released...
