Dubbed TRL by its hordes of devotees—among whose ranks I used to count myself—the show marked a generation of awkward and not-so-awkward teenagers who tuned in for a decade to watch, fanatically, their favorite “celebs” battle it out for the top spot on the show’s daily music video countdown...

"The crews [of the captured ships] are not exorbitantly large," Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday. (That's an understatement: the supertanker's crew of 25 runs a ship three times the size of a Nimitz-class U.S. carrier, which is manned by 3,200 sailors, not including the 2,500 responsible for flying and maintaining its aircraft.)
