...count, American Almanac is NBC's eleventh try at a newsmagazine since First Tuesday made its debut in 1969. NBC Chairman Grant Tinker has promised that he will give American Almanac enough time to find its viewers, a strategy wisely used by CBS for one of its news shows. That program spent its early years in the ratings cellar. At one point, the show was preempted to make room for football games. Only in 1975, seven years after its debut, did perseverance (and a regular Sunday time slot) pay off and the program begin to blossom in the ratings...
...another incredibility to Seaver. "Tom is really still a Met," Mets First Baseman Keith Hernandez insisted the next day as Seaver's former New York teammates bellied around a television set (equitably enough, in Chicago). Baseball's particular prodigy, Pitcher Dwight Gooden, 20, had just won his eleventh consecutive game to break a club record that Seaver fashioned 16 years ago. "It's especially great coming today," said Gooden. "This is something I'll always remember."

The high buyout price, apparently designed to repel rival offers and avoid a bidding war for the company, drove...
Refusing such simplistic links, the closest the film comes to an attempt to lay bare the boys’ motivations is in their own eleventh-hour explanation. Here Coccio finds the real terror of the boys in the rambling, angry, and illogical philosophy that that they espouse, describing the massacre as “the most respectful, the most loving thing we can do right now,” and themselves as “more powerful than...
...unusual tactics spearheaded by legislators in Washington went too far. In Florida, there were revealing cracks in the state's conservative cohort, as some Republican pols who usually side with Governor Jeb Bush (who backs efforts to keep Schiavo alive) broke ranks. Powerful state senator Dennis Jones helped defeat eleventh-hour attempts in the Florida legislature last week intended to save Schiavo, telling TIME it was "the wrong vote." Some Florida Republicans say they winced when DeLay insisted that keeping Schiavo and patients like her alive was more important than "the sanctity of marriage"--a concept, of course...
