...Harvard Police Department's new administrator must revamp morale among police officers, stop vicious infighting in the security guard unit and boost the department's sagging finances...
...what a game. Four years ago, Burns managed to tell the story of America's bloodiest, most traumatic war in 11 1/2 hours. His account of our favorite sport takes up more than 18. It is not just a history of the game -- from Ty Cobb's vicious slides to Bob Gibson's fast ball, from Babe Ruth's records to Red Sox heartbreaks -- but also a slice of Americana that spans 150 years. The series covers the impact of the Depression and two World Wars; player-owner conflicts that go back more than a century (the reserve clause that...
...studio. During the '70s, Evans was married to Ali MacGraw, his third wife, and that's the decade he became friends with Jack Nicholson and hung out with Henry Kissinger.

Such ham-handed tricks might make the widely publicized videotape called The Clinton Chronicles laughable -- if it were not so vicious. It repeats, with little or no evidence, virtually every accusation ever made against Bill or Hillary Rodham Clinton and adds some new ones. At one point, a narrator declares flatly that as Governor, "Clinton was hooked on cocaine." That's all: no further details, no evidence, no corroboration. Worse still, an Arkansan named Gary Parks comes onscreen to voice suspicion that Clinton ordered the murder of Parks' father, without pointing to any proof...
