...office coffee pot? Twentysomethings shooting milk out of their tear ducts for distance? The nets can probably squeeze any of that in the slot between DiResta and Malcolm & Eddie. Cable used to be the frat basement of television, full of "Skinemax" and foul-mouthed comics, but now you turn to the double digits for CNN, Bravo or American Movie Classics. The cheap thrills are invading network television, under headings like When Good Pets Go Bad, World's Scariest Police Chases and, thanks to a rare kind of genius, the upcoming Cheating Spouses: Caught on Tape.

Dosso had to second-guess the veering tastes of his boss--flatter him, keep him interested. And then there were the courtiers to deal with...
Guess where most of the genetically perfect kids, developed as a result of gene insertion, will go? Straight to full-time day care, so their parents can pay off the $50,000 spent to have them. If the kids are not perfect, we can turn to your magazine, filled with Pfizer ads, to help us cope with this horrific life through various drugs. Having kids is about unconditional love, and life is about struggle. But in the future, maybe happiness will lie in kids--only the perfect ones--and in prescription drugs that cost a lot of money.
