...viewers seem more comfortable with. Yet ER was instantly a huge hit. In its first five weeks, the show has drawn an average Nielsen rating of 18.3, ranking in the top five among all prime-time series. It trounced Chicago Hope so thoroughly that the rival show had to slink away to another time slot. To be sure, ER gets a major boost from NBC's powerful Thursday-night lineup, anchored by Seinfeld. But that didn't help a limping L.A. Law in the same time slot last season; ER has improved on that show's audience...

...timing was a surprise, but not the act. For months Moscow had wondered when Boris Yeltsin would do it: take sole charge of Russia. Last week he did, dissolving the rebellious parliament, but his hard-line rivals did not slink off into the night.

It's an occasion for some of the company's stars -- led by Yvonne Borree, as perky as a coffeemaker -- to slink and stretch, vamp and vogue, wiggle their butts and show off. You'd think Bob Fosse's Broadway rather than George Balanchine's Lincoln Center was their spiritual home. Catch Jazz if you can: flash trash doesn't come better...
