Hall has a new-generation approach to stardom as well: try to do it all. At 30, he is not only the headliner but also the executive producer of his show. He hires the staff, okays the guests and even wrote the theme music. (He has a substantial share of the show's profits.) He has recorded a comedy-music album, Large and In Charge, scheduled for release later this month. On it he performs in the persona of an alter ego, a fat rapper named Chunky A, whom Hall played as a "guest" on his show last...

...still be one ruthless customer: in the season opener, he sliced off a woman's head, which plopped to the floor like a ripe pineapple. Most weeks, however, he serves merely as the wisecracking narrator for unrelated stories revolving around dreams. Many are unexpectedly lighthearted; a few even approach satire. In one of last season's entries, a yuppie career woman had a thirtysomething nightmare about having a baby: her boss replaced her on the fast track, prison bars materialized outside her door, and she was sent to Post-Partum Sleep Deprivation Camp for Unprepared Mothers...

...problem, of course, is that a case-by-case approach can easily create inconsistencies. For one thing, legislatures are not always careful to calibrate each offense according to its severity; this can lead to situations in which an armed assault can draw the same penalty, say 15 years, as a simple robbery. In recent years, moreover, disparities in the punishments prescribed for various crimes have been exaggerated by legislators' tendency to enact mandatory minimum sentences, particularly for drug crimes...
