...have less to do with what young men will watch other young men do on TV (execute a 360? slam dunk, eat animal entrails, punk Justin Timberlake) than with how other people see teen boys. In CBS's Clubhouse (Tuesdays, 9 p.m. E.T.), 16-year-old Pete Young (Jeremy Sumpter) lands a dream after-school job: bat boy for the New York Empires baseball team. His single mom (Mare Winningham) wants him to focus on his studies, so he tells her he's spending late nights with his school's Scrabble club. But while doing an errand...

That gun was stolen from the car of a campus police officer in New Jersey, police said. "Around here," James Sinkler says, "kids carry guns like other people carry cigarettes." Taking a life in medieval England was the King's prerogative. Now every kid a king...
