...used to make her wince to hear people accuse her of hating rock 'n' roll. To prove them wrong, she would point to her well-worn collection of Beatles, Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead albums as evidence of a normal '60s youth. (Like her husband, she admits to having tried marijuana.) For good measure, she would remind reporters that she used to play the drums in high school (she still has her old drums set up in the basement). Maybe Tipper is more like Hillary than she at first appears. And maybe Hillary is getting more like Tipper. Last week...
...first glance, Robb seems miscast in the role of a Klan leader. Like his role model David Duke, the Imperial Wizard turned politician, Robb has traded in his pointed hood and robe for a well-worn gray suit and dingy wing tips.

Executive producer Dick Wolf (Law & Order) at least doesn't trivialize the well-worn subject.

Like many men in his condition, he has few tangible items: a well-worn sleeping sack, a garbage bag full of clothes, and some notes scrawled on grubby pieces of paper. But unlike those of most street people, the notes in Richard Kreimer's hands are not limited to the addresses of sympathetic friends and the opening hours of the local soup kitchen. There are some telling initials -- G,S,D, -- next to the phone numbers on those sheets. Geraldo. Sally. Donahue...
