...South, Davis' senior political adviser, says there's a long list of contributors who aren't very happy, beginning with the state teachers' union. The Governor's education-reform package offers a carrot--cash bonuses for teachers and schools that pump up test scores.

...Before SNL I did extra work on soap operas. I'd be in the restaurant scene in the back, eating and trying to stick my face on the screen. I did commercials for Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice, did lots of cereal commercials, Denny's Breakfast Buffet commercials, and I worked in restaurants while I was doing commercials - all over LA as a waitress and a hostess - and just hustle. I really wanted to act but I wasn't making my full living acting, so I worked in restaurants for years before...

...past few days, I have re-discovered my love of hockey. For countless hours I have stood in my common room with a miniature red hockey stick and a bright yellow tennis ball taking slap shots at my roommate's brand new, 27-inch, Panasonic television. In the meantime, a lot has been going...
