...important as the hosts' chemistry is their understanding of their audience. Previous morning shows were aimed at permanent housewives, offering a simulated coffee hour of chitchat in a fake living room with fake neighbors. The View recognizes that its viewers--still 72% female--include part-timers, telecommuters and maternity-leavers. Trying to get through the day without murdering the kids, they want to escape not to a surrogate home but to a surrogate office...
...step too close when a landmine blew him up him in Indochina in 1954, lived by those words and in the process he forged a new photojournalism. His photographs were real, without the slightest scent of contrivance. They were too graphic and too close-up to be fake: when you see the subject's brain exiting the back of his skull, you know the shot is a one-time event, and that the subject is a more-than-reluctant participant.

I'm reading fifteen magazines a week, surfing the net for an hour a day, instigating blocking group arguments over Britney Spears' fake boobs just so I can figure out where our culture is going.

But the second, in January, missed by about 150 yards when a "few molecules" of water froze inside a cooling pipe 0.0035 in. in diameter--the width of a human hair--and shut down the interceptor's heat-seeking sensors. A third test is set for late June. Officials say a 1-for-3 record will justify construction of the missiles. Previously the Pentagon had said it was aiming...
