...wholesome prime-time fare, put about a million dollars toward a WB fund for the writing of eight "family-friendly" scripts, and "Gilmore" survived. (The group hopes to strike deals with other networks.) The group had no input on the scripts, but members say they're happy with "Gilmore," even if it isn't the second coming of "Little House on the Prairie." "Would I have been happier if some of the language wasn't there?" asks co-founder Andrea Alstrup, vice president for advertising at Johnson & Johnson. "Probably. But I don't think it went overboard.

The first mistake was in thinking that a workable sequel could...
...countries, but the downturn has spawned a wave of nationalism that underlies much of the current crisis. Outtara was kept out of the last elections on the grounds that his parents were not Ivoirian, and Gbagbo espouses the same Ivoirian nationalism as ousted President Konan Bédié. Even if the latest political impasse is resolved, the deeper currents that it reflects will haunt the Ivory Coast for some time to come...
