...seen plenty of shows with Lost's geek appeal, but their stories usually end with "... and it was soon canceled, to the dismay of its hard-core fans." The Prisoner, the first Star Trek series--even Twin Peaks went from phenom to flame-out faster than you can say, Who killed Laura Palmer? Lost is different. An unapologetically knotty, mass-market commercial hit, it demands commitment--and gets it. How did Lost escape the cult-show graveyard? Partly because it's just TV genius.

Now that radicalism (at least in America) has fallen out of fashion, it seems that Social Studies has been searching for its soul ever since. A committee review this year found that Social Studies needs a major overhaul?...
Nimoy hasn't abandoned his otherworldly roots. For Star Trek's 40th, he and William Shatner, who "see each other regularly," will tour to meet fans around the country. "I'm very proud that after 40 years, people are still interested," says Nimoy--which means he knows the import of another of his roles; he has a say in the casting of a younger Spock for the 11th Star Trek movie...
