...serving synergy that would have made other networks unlikely ever to buy a show from Fox again. (Why do it if they'll yank the series once it becomes a hit?) But Fox's parent company is also closing a deal to buy several UPN affiliate stations, and the scuttlebutt is it may ultimately want a piece of UPN itself, all of which, The WB's brass claimed, made for dirty pool...
...thing I hated most about the class was that at the very end, while everyone was resting for a few minutes in the stillness of Shavasana, the corpse pose (designed to quiet the mind), Leah broke into song.

To death penalty opponents, that may not sound like much progress, but at the very least, it's a far cry from the sometimes glib and dismissive Bush who has officiated so resolutely over 131 executions during his five-year term...
