...furniture. Buying out most of her corporate partner, Time Warner, which owns this magazine, she took control of hers, Martha Stewart Living, as well as of her syndicated TV show of the same name. She switched her network appearances from the Today show to the CBS Morning News. She started a new line of products at K Mart. What all this means is that an encounter with Martha will go on being an experience not so different from getting hit by a Mack truck full of daisies. As you peel yourself off the macadam, you're free...
Laura Ingraham, the CBS and MSNBC analyst, is as hard as a diamond. Her killer views against gays, feminists, gun-control advocates and welfare stand out even in that booming segment of the instant-pundit industry: right-wing women commentators. That's why her recent essay in the Washington Post apologizing for her rabid intolerance of gays dropped like a bombshell. Notorious in her student days for vilifying "sodomites" in the Dartmouth Review--and for sending a reporter to tape a Gay Students Association meeting, then naming names--she wrote that she changed her views after witnessing "the dignity, fidelity...
...ESPN, BILL BRADLEY tries to convince some skeptical interviewers that he has the qualifications to work for the cable channel. But they simply shake their heads dubiously at his Rhodes Scholarship, Olympic gold medal, two N.B.A. championships, three books and 18 years as a U.S. Senator.

It's something of a backdoor move for the man whose first job in the 1960s was as a radio reporter for CBS in St. Louis, Missouri, and who sent back reports while...
...Eastwood's Absolute Power, or a slow-to-anger knight in shining armor, as in Democrat Rob Reiner's The American President? Or maybe he's just a compassionate fellow who lives to minister to fatally ill kids, as in A Child's Wish, a recent TV movie on cbs. That President was played in a cameo by Bill Clinton, which made him the first Chief Executive to play himself as a character in an actual drama, as opposed to a character in a photo op, press conference or some other bit of contemporary presidential shtick. In fact, the question...
...certain kind of discerning television viewer it remains a pop-culture mystery why millions more Americans this season tuned to CBS's lead-armed Walker, Texas Ranger on Saturday nights than to ABC's nuanced romantic drama Relativity. To many TV producers this is not a vexing question, however. Nothing is more dramatic than the conflict between life and death, they will tell you (even if the conflict involves Chuck Norris). Slice-of-life series almost never win the ratings that crime shows pull in, which is why eight of the nine new network dramas premiering this spring feature people...
