...newspaper world, these changes are hardly revolutionary. Most papers switched to color years ago, and many already have six or more sections every day. But the Times is no ordinary newspaper. It's a bastion of traditional news values, whose slightest twist or turn can cause outcries of betrayal among loyal readers. The last upheaval came in the 1970s, when the Times introduced several new feature sections, such as living and home, and traditionalists moaned that the paper had been contaminated with trivia on artichokes and Biedermeier furniture...
...after analysis of a presidential debate can set the agenda for days of campaign coverage and punditry. Its decision to feature, say, a murder in Texas on Page One can prompt hordes of reporters to hop a plane south. Its critics can make or break a Broadway play or turn an obscure foreign film into tomorrow's hot ticket. The Times has the largest editorial staff, spends more money on newsgathering and has won more Pulitzer Prizes (74) than any other paper in the country. It may get out-hustled on a story now and then, especially when its august...
That kind of enthusiasm has kept the actress busy in the four years since Cheers went off the air. She earned an Emmy for her dramatic work in 1994's TV movie David's Mother.

The normally reticent Woody Allen, who had never seen Alley...
Caleb Carr's gaslit narrative style has gained a touch of weight since his agreeable turn-of-the-century detective novel The Alienist (1994), but perhaps no more than success justifies. The reader is inclined to nod indulgently--at the new novel's 629 pages, at the rustle of the writer's smoking jacket and at the swirl of the great man's brandy. That's the illusion--author as Basil Rathbone--that Carr, 42, persuades us to believe...
...chases shown in movies, an auto often catapults into the air as it goes over a hill, when, for a moment, inertia overcomes gravity. Is it possible the tragic accident in Paris involved the same principle? If the speeding Mercedes became airborne, a slight turn of the steering wheel, which should have been sufficient to negotiate a curve on the roadway, would have been ineffective. Perhaps the accident had more to do with physics than with alcohol. MERRICK LOCKWOOD Dhaka...
