...Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood (May 19, 8 p.m. E.T.), which brings the Duke boys' story up to date, is the same Southern-fried minstrelsy that makes the series a hoot to remember but excruciating to relive. But worse, by making Bo and Luke allies with Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane and deputies Enos and Cletus, the movie guts the one aspect of the show that made it more than a cornpone car chase--two good ole boys "fightin' the system like two modern-day Robin Hoods," as the theme song (which the movie has jettisoned) said. The Dukes' eight...
...scene - too many agencies, too many conflicting 911 reports, not enough coordination. For a while, authorities believed there was a third shooter on the roof; he turned out to be an air conditioner repairman. As for whether police were cowardly, or negligent, or poorly trained, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department has made enough p.r. blunders to know that conclusions of that kind are best left to the courts, and with 15 lawsuits pending, the truth will have ample opportunity to come out.

Britain and the U.S., embroiled in Kosovo, simply wanted the Sierra Leone problem to go away. But the rebels' control over the diamond fields gave them a long-term source of funding that made them both a more formidable force and a more intractable...
...chairs and tables, eight actors talk directly to the audience, describing the interviews they did and re-creating them at the same time. There are choice, often harrowing details: the bartender recalling that the two killers paid for their pitcher of beer entirely in dimes and quarters; a deputy sheriff noting that the only place on Shepard's face not caked with blood was where there had been tears; an antigay Baptist minister expressing regret for the crime along with hope that in his last moments Matthew "had time to reflect on his lifestyle." (Shepard is not a character...
...more than 80 rescue teams in the U.S. and Canada, never intended for the material to be shown to the public. But last week a judge ordered the tapes released to the victims' families who are suing Jefferson County for mishandling the rescue. Although fire officials and the sheriff's department strongly opposed public distribution of the video, the county attorney made the tapes available to individuals and news organizations to avoid additional lawsuits. The $25 price tag, the attorney said, covers the cost of production and distribution...
