...divorce, badmouthing Arnold as a no-talent wife beater, a charge he denied. And thanks to the successive failure of two dud TV sitcoms, The Jackie Thomas Show and Tom, he had dropped to Tinseltown's F list. He might have had a better chance of getting a waiter's job at Spago than snaring a reservation there for brunch...
...wheelchairs have special needs, the law's vague definition of a disability as "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities" has provoked an outcropping of frivolous lawsuits. In Indiana a customer filed a complaint against a restaurant because a waiter refused to carve the meat for the man's ailing mother. A Louisiana television anchorwoman sued for time off to receive fertility treatments. In each case, the charges were thrown out.

Patrons get to saunter in through a special VIP entrance, watch the game from a nicely appointed, glass-enclosed living room and relieve themselves in their own private bathroom.

The boxes, at the top of the Garden, offer a view of the action that reduces 7-ft.-tall basketball players...
...played to critical acclaim in the greater Bloomington area, but it has never attracted the kind of national attention that would capture a slot on network TV. Though local sponsors chip in enough to keep Everson clothed, housed and fed, Nickell still has to support himself as a waiter. So the pair set their sights beyond broadcast TV, beyond cable TV, to the computer networks. Last week, as their 85th episode, Global Village Idiots, was flickering across Bloomington televisions, it was simultaneously stored on the Internet, where millions of people worldwide could retrieve it--the first television show broadcast...
