...American secret agent (Mosi Ayindi Secret '01) doing a very basic acting trick; facing the audience, he shaves as if he is looking into a mirror. The perfect pantomime of his toilet hoists the audience into a dramatic enchantment and reminds one of just how far we've sunk in this summer of real-world television. While we can see plenty of people plucking lettuce from their teeth from cameras hidden behind real mirrors, it's really so much better when it's fake. So what if the Cold War is over?

...Probably not enough kudos, however, to keep black Oklahoma congressman J. C. Watts on the running-mate list. And speaking of racially based calculations: another hopeful just struck off the veep roster, one supposes, is Christine Todd Whitman, though for different reasons.

What each of these performances has in common is domination--a superb athlete taking on the best...

The Dow Jones industrial average, which hit an all-time closing high of 11,723 on Jan. 14, has sunk as much as 16% and in sawtooth fashion has been hitting lower highs since March. The NASDAQ got it much worse. Yes, the rally we've been enjoying the past few weeks has been impressive, fueled by unexpectedly weak economic reports that have, for now, rubbed out inflation fears. Possibly this rally will persist and break the bear-market pattern. But it hasn't yet. Don't rush to redeploy all your...
