...pouring the concrete can be deemed to be within the bounds of the ABM treaty, then the White House can at once quiet Republican criticism by showing that it is building a missile defense system and insist to Moscow that it isn't violating the treaty. But though slick lawyering may give Clinton the opportunity to punt the issue of whether to scrap the ABM treaty into the next presidency, the Russians watch CNN, too - and they know that the concrete President Clinton would order poured on a frostbitten Alaskan island isn't for a barbecue...

...there anything in Hollywood more frightening than the possibility of more Flintstones sequels? E! hopes so, having chosen a sort of Tinseltown Twilight Zone for its first fictional series. Coming from the home of snide, shoestring productions like Talk Soup, this noirish anthology is surprisingly slick in look and earnest in tone.

Antonelli's has all the elements of a 1940s film-noir tale: vampy dames, a seedy speakeasy, and a host of slick mobsters and other sundry paisans. The story centers around lounge singer Barbara Goldman (Jessica Kirshner '01), who is kind of blue that her FBI agent boyfriend Charles Redmond (Nick Adams '03) spends more time at the office tracking down mobsters than he does with her. When she's offered a cushy job performing at the mob-run restaurant Antonelli's, the feisty "Bar" takes the offer in hopes that her inside scoop on The Family will help...

...friend's face and go "boom." At the bustling Washington headquarters for the Million Mom March, the stories--of toddlers caught in a cross fire, grandmothers murdered on vacation, six-year-olds gunned down at school--are as essential to the cause as are the T shirts and the slick website. The Million Mom March could not exist without such anguish. The stories that pour forth from women who have lost loved ones to gun violence are deeply personal and unremittingly awful. The tears flow at press conferences and in meetings at the White House. And this Mother...
