...sessions take place in what looks like a family doctor's office, but with video cameras and tape recorders as the chief diagnostic tools. Upstairs, in a room decorated with children's posters of properly placed tongues, Brooks sits in front of a mirror. He puts a button-size plastic ring on the tip of his tongue, draws it into his mouth, and presses it up against the ridge behind the front teeth.

...another of those weeks when TV seems to have a bear hug on the nation's attention.

The Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary have undoubtedly been blown out of proportion by most of the press. But the three networks' decision virtually to set up shop in those states (all three evening newscasts originated from New Hampshire on Monday and Tuesday) helped magnify every twist and nuance in the poll results...
