...Thursday in Iowa, this most phlegmatic of candidates started bearing down hard, putting real passion into his stump speech, winning cheers and laughter, getting people to promise to stand up for him at the caucuses on Jan. 24. If winning in Iowa still seemed out of the question--Gore was 20 points ahead--the Bradley team could dream about a late surge in New Hampshire and beyond, and feel sure that it had regained that elusive campaign rhythm...
Then, just as quickly, it fell apart. Wondering why Bradley's public schedule had been so light earlier in the week, ABC News correspondent Jackie Judd asked a simple question: Had Bradley experienced any more episodes of heart arrhythmia, the chronic (but not life-threatening) irregular heartbeat he'd made public last December? The answer, of course, was yes. Four times in the past month his heart had "flipped out" of its natural rhythm, as Bradley describes it, then "flipped back in."

Replace "girl" with "woman," and you have the question to which Oxygen chairwoman and CEO and former Nickelodeon president Geraldine Laybourne is unveiling the answer.

Since its reinstatement in the U.S. in 1977, the death penalty has remained one of the handful of soul-defining issues that can be reduced to a simple question: for or against? But in the 38 states that use capital punishment, ways to deal with flaws in its administration are not so cut-and-dried. Last Sunday, Illinois became the first state to address such problems by banning the measure - albeit temporarily - when Governor George Ryan announced an indefinite moratorium on executions pending an investigation into the state's justice system. The last straw came last week when...
