...guilty as anyone. I recently spent most of a day furiously typing to an idiotic teenager with a risque handle (I think it was Scullyspants) that it's not at all implausible that Cancer Man (whom the studio calls Cigarette-Smoking Man, possibly to avoid offending tobacco companies--another hot Web debate) fathered several of the characters on the show, including Mulder himself. Being a hard-core "noromo" (parlance for "no romancer," someone who believes the show's UST, or unresolved sexual tension, is the key to its vitality), I have also flamed "shippers" ("relationshippers," those who want Mulder...
...fine tradition of both TIME and CNN, the show won't be shot in some air-conditioned studio, but out on the streets of America and the world, where the news is happening. To keep it as fresh as possible, Shaw and Greenfield will not begin taping until late Friday evening and will update throughout the weekend or break in live, as news dictates.

So imagine how hard it is if the first act was performed before a live studio audience, on one of the most watched talk shows in television history, in an unlikely but tremendously successful merging of media: Oprah's Book Club. Once an author wins that literary lottery, can he or she possibly pick the right combination of numbers again...
...five children seems to be that because Henson was so busy, he was unable to spend enough time with them. They often accompanied him while he worked, and he once even took his eldest daughter along when he held a meeting with the head of a movie studio. That child, Lisa, is now a powerful producer in Hollywood; Henson's elder son Brian runs the Jim Henson Co.; and another daughter, Cheryl, also works there. However gentle, Henson was not a complete naif. He liked expensive cars--Rolls-Royces, Porsches--and after he and Jane separated in 1986 (they remained...
