...special that included quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. and beefcake shots of the mystifier atop a volcano. With cameras jostling for shots, Blaine, Rocky-style, called for his girlfriend and gave her a kiss before being whisked off in an ambulance. Houdini would have been proud. Houdini's publicist would have been prouder...
...most prescient words about the Beatles were written some 36 years ago by their legendary publicist, the late Derek Taylor. At the precise time when the executives of United Artists and Dr. Leonhard Prinz were convinced that the Beatles were a passing fad, he wrote the liner notes to their 1964 U.K. album "Beatles For Sale" and actually referred to the year 2000, an impossibly futuristic date to envisage in the mid-'60s.

Gardner alienated most of the rest of the white population of Tulia when he spoke out against what he perceived as the racism of the community after the first drug-bust trials last year. Now, when reporters come to town to cover Tulia's controversy, he helps set up interviews with the black residents, almost all of whom are on probation or related to someone who was arrested in the sting. Gardner is also a comic-relief supporting player, since...
