...winter or spring but directly against the major broadcast networks' heavily promoted fall debuts. But it couldn't have picked a more auspicious year to do so; this fall's slate of new programs is the most uninspired, creatively bankrupt set of debuts in several years. There are the shameless knockoffs, like CSI: Miami, a less imaginative product extension than Vanilla Coke. There are the retreads, like the WB's remake of Family Affair, with kids so saccharinely cute and a laugh track so obtrusive that the new series really could have been made in the '60s. Then there...
...only one like this," says Freund. He thinks the bones belong to the Teacher and, therefore, perhaps are the Baptist's. Others are skeptical, pointing out that the skeleton has a head, while John's was famously removed. Expedition archaeologist Magen Broshi fumes that the identification amounts to "shameless publicity seeking." Freund has sent out teeth for carbon dating.

Pierluigi Collina, in particular, won praise and a place in the final for controlling games that could have become ugly grudge-fests (i.e. Argentina vs. England...
...cynic he was, it was with acerbic joy--a shameless love for all the scoundrels who schemed to get rich, kill the cuckolded husband, exploit the misery of a man trapped in a cave, beat a murder rap, shin up the corporate ladder, bamboozle an insurance company or steal a nice guy's girl. For Wilder, mankind was divided not into the haves and have-nots but into the haves and let's-gets. He celebrated the ugly American: brash men on the make, women on the take. What knaves these mortals be! How smart they are, though...
