...less diverse, yet the mood had shifted. This was the Me decade of Julian Schnabel proclaiming his genius in front of anyone with a tape recorder, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, who managed to squeeze in all 15 minutes of his fame, literally following in Warhol's footsteps through strobe-lighted grottos like Studio 54 before drugs...
...Bush was one of the most popular students in his class at Yale. He mixed easily with the rich and the well bred, but, according to classmates, he developed an intense dislike for the class of Yalie he deemed "intellectual snobs."

But when Rick and Lily, the fortyish divorces (O.K., Lily doesn't have hers yet) whose romance fuels the new series Once and Again (ABC, Tuesdays at 10 p.m. E.T.), first make love, it's done like this: long, somber takes. Clumsy false starts. Cuddling. Tears. And talking. Lots of talking...
