...life none of us knew about, a life involving invisible ink and microfilm, the tunnels at Cu Chi and mail drops in the Ho Bo woods. He had a rank (colonel then, major general when he died this week) and, no doubt, a serial number. But to those of us who worked closely with him, as I did for three years, Pham Xuan An was nothing more (or less) than a first-class journalist, with better sources in the South Vietnamese government and a better understanding of the war's historical and political meaning for Vietnam than we would ever...
...DEGREES ABC, THURSDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T.; PREMIERES SEPT. 21 Was Kevin Bacon unavailable? Beats me, but this serial about connected strangers still has dramatic muscle. Steven (Campbell Scott) is a great photographer in a slump ... who is hired by ad exec Whitney (Bridget Moynahan) ... who befriends recent widow Laura (Hope Davis) ... who hires as her nanny mystery girl Mae (Erika Christensen) ... who attracts the attention of cop Carlos (Jay Hernandez, above, with Christensen) ... who forms an alliance with Damian (Dorian Missick), a gambler struggling to go straight. It's a drama of chance with enough charm to roll the dice...
DEXTER SHOWTIME, SUNDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T.; PREMIERES OCT. 1 The aaying "It Takes A Thief to catch a thief" apparently goes double for serial killers. Dexter Morgan (Michael C.

Or is it justice? The morals of this provocative show are as intriguing...

Moviemakers want to profit from our fears as well as our desires; that's their business. But they stick to fears of a smaller, more intimate kind: the serial killer with a knife, the snakes on a plane. They're reluctant to think about the Big Fear, because that fear is too close to the headlines, and about the current Big Villains, because that means Islamic extremists. In Hollywood today, greed is the handmaiden of timidity. I envision...
...each party wanders about, clucking about the need for initiative and ideas, but never managing to find either. Far be it for me to criticize the sterling leadership of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and company; there are underlying structural causes of the Democrats’ serial ineptitude as an opposition party. Among the many flaws of our reified Constitution is that it intentionally undermines the development of parliamentary-style political parties. There is no platform from which to articulate a unified opposition ideology. Instead of a shadow cabinet that directly opposes the government, we have a system that makes...
