...rape cases, first uncovered by the investigative unit at Denver's ABC affiliate KMGH, raise the question of whether the Tailhook sex-abuse scandal that hit the Navy in the early 1990s ever produced a new system capable of punishing men who commit these kinds of crimes. In 1993 the Air Force Academy launched a program touted as a model for teaching character, and three years later it instituted a rape-crisis hot line run by cadets.

...America is still fighting a perfectly good war--in Afghanistan and elsewhere--that has largely vanished from the screen. That war is the subject of ABC's Profiles from the Front Line (Thursdays, 8 p.m. E.T.), a surprisingly engrossing reality series that takes us along with a special-forces unit as it brings in an al-Qaeda suspect and aboard a smugglers' ship that the Navy has interdicted off Iraq.

...thanks to a wave of new products and digital-appliance advances, convergence seems ready to take hold. Your TV viewing - indeed, your entire home-entertainment experience - may never be the same. A Miami-based company called Alienware makes a custom PC called Navigator starting at $1700: an entertainment-dedicated unit that runs Microsoft's new Windows XP Media Center Edition and plays TV, records like a TiVo, and runs Internet content, DVDs, CDs and digital music, either on its own monitor and speakers or by channeling the media to your TV or stereo. It could take the place of every...
