...Kingfish. "He hasn't said anything crazier than the vile remark from state senator Arthur Ravenel, who called the N.A.A.C.P. the 'National Association of Retarded People' for opposing the flag. The next day he apologized to retarded people, but he hasn't told the N.A.A.C.P. he was sorry. Talk about STUPID...
...veteran producers and, as business partners, the Hollywood production team of Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach (creators of The Cosby Show, Roseanne and That '70s Show), which are programming the network; and--hallelujah!--Oprah Winfrey, who will contribute two shows (and, in 2002, reruns of her talk show). She even snared Candice Bergen to act as host of a nighttime talk show, Exhale. The return on these investments and efforts will rest largely on Laybourne's vision of how the Internet will change media and of what 21st century women want--and aren't getting--from...

In fact, children's diets in the U.S. have got so far out of whack that half of American kids now consume less than the recommended daily allowance for iron, calcium or zinc--three key minerals vital to the growth of small bodies...
...there's some straight talk. Just as it's O.K. for women to call themselves girls, gays can talk about "gaydar," the scanning device that divides the world by sexual orientation on the basis of superficial characteristics. Straights and straight presidential candidates are generally more circumspect. But McCain's remarks constituted at most a mild distraction, barely diverting him from his last-ditch effort to shame Governor George W. Bush into a fair fight in New York by helping McCain get on the ballot there. Gay political leaders didn't make an issue of it. Kevin Ivers, press spokesman...
