...WEST WING (NBC) Attention, networks: There is dramatic life outside precinct houses and hospital wards. Aaron Sorkin's White House series is a love story of people and their jobs that overcomes its speechifying tendencies and tics (half the action takes place as characters stalk down corridors) with verbal gunplay, public-policy triage and an appealing lack of cynicism--about, of all things, politics...
...that can take toxic substances in contaminated soil or sludge--including organic solvents and industrial oils--and convert them into harmless by-products. Soon we may be using genetic engineering to create what Reid Lifset, editor of the Journal of Industrial Ecology, calls "designer waste streams." Consider all that stalk, or stover, that every corn plant grows along with its kernels.

"When she does show herself . . . she demands that I become a hunter, a hunter of her frequency." Got that? Yet, even if you don't understand the Muse, never had a miscarriage...
...grownups so far this year, recounts the attempt of the desperate former to feature the fame-addled latter in his absurd project. Basically, this involves making Kit the star of a movie without telling him he's in it. That in turn requires Bobby and his crew to stalk and provoke the star into photographable action. Since Kit is at least half convinced that he is being plagued by space aliens, these intrusions add fuel to the flame of his pathology...
