...heady time to be the man who commands the ETS, and a busy one. L. Brent Bozell spun off the Parents Television Council in 1995 from his Media Research Center, a watchdog group that monitors media bias. The cop drama NYPD Blue had recently debuted to controversy (and huge ratings), and, as Bozell puts it, "suddenly it became artistic to see Dennis Franz's rear end." In 1998 the PTC launched a membership drive that Bozell says netted 500,000 members. (The group now claims a million.) "We awoke a sleeping giant," he says...
...greatest crisis since the Irish Civil War in 1922." Party leaders were already under pressure to distance themselves from the I.R.A. after a $50 million robbery at a Belfast bank in December, which the British and Irish governments blamed on the terrorist organization. Dublin, which usually plays "good cop" to London's "bad cop" in negotiations with Sinn Fein, reacted with fury. The bank raid also raised questions about republican intentions toward the peace process, which, though stalled, is still supported by Sinn Fein and the I.R.A. "People don't understand why they did it," says one Belfast republican...
...movie is a sequel to 2000's highly successful Tokyo Raiders, by director Jingle Ma, whose name appropriately evokes the sound box-office cash registers were making this Lunar New Year season throughout the Chinese-speaking world.

Time for a remake. Leung and his fellow Tokyo cast members are sent packing to Seoul...
...done a project 'cause I said, "Geez, philosophically, I'm right in line with this guy. This is me." I think I'm more apt to choose a role that isn't me. If you think back on Dirty Harry, for instance, people saw him as just a rogue cop. But he's a rogue cop who's just lost his wife. He's sort of a sad guy, and he's equally saddened and angered by the bureaucratic nightmare he's dwelling in while trying to apprehend a sadistic, psychopathic serial killer. If you showed him as a happy...
...that it's going to take time to get the five other participants?Japan and Russia being the other two powers?to come up with a unified approach that will cajole Kim out of his defiant crouch. For now, both publicly and privately, the Bush Administration is playing good cop, insisting it simply wants to return to the six-party format, that diplomatic and economic goodies await North Korea at the end of those talks, and that any military option is out of the question. Boucher last week even knocked down the idea that the U.S. is pressuring China...
