Government by the People You got it right with your cover headline, "It's the Voters, Stupid ... Forget the experts. Forget the polls. Forget the TV ads" [Jan. 21]. What the primary results from New Hampshire showed, once again, is the arrogance of the national media - especially television news, which continues to believe that it's the story. They seemed downright insulted that the voters of New Hampshire didn't vote the way the commentators and pollsters said they would.

Despite those discouraging words, and the frequent racial taunts he received while playing youth hockey, Coleman stuck with the skates, and became a promising...
...Even for a January splatter-fest movie, Unpraiseable is spectacularly stupid. Toward the end, the killer knows Agent Marsh's identity and is out to seize, fricassee and kill her. So her boss takes her off the case and tells her, in effect, get out of here; we won't have any cops guard you when you go through the rain, at night, alone and unprotected, to the creepy motel room you've moved into.
