How do you rate yourself as a driver?
No, that's a stupid question. You rate yourself above average. It's a well-known fact that all humans consider themselves to be above-average drivers, including primitive Amazonian mud people who have not yet discovered the wheel.The Trying Game
My wife is a sportswriter. This is good and bad.
The good part is this: Say I'm lying on the sofa watching pro football, and my team, the Miami Dolphins, has the ball, and it's third and four, a situation in which the Dolphins, after considering all 3,487 of their offensive plays, always...When Readers Share . . .
When you've been writing a column for as long as I have -- 6 billion years this Tuesday -- you get used to receiving a certain type of letter. It's known, in journalism, as the "I Dare You To Print This!" (IDYTPT for short) letter, because the letter writer challenges you, the columnist, to print the letter, implying you lack the courage.

DreamWorks Deal a Fantasy Made True
There was something heartwarming about the sale of DreamWorks for an irrationally exuberant $1.6 billion to Viacom's Paramount Pictures this week instead of to its longtime suitor, General Electric's NBC Universal. It proved all over again that even if Hollywood looks overrun with corporate suits and marketing drones, it's still activated by emotion and perception. The Future Face Of Network News

Cue the Shark Music and Prepare to Be Scared
What could make an aging, even ailing, television critic arise from his sick bed -- indeed, a bed not just sick but infected -- and crawl couchward to screen a television show? It would have to be some bold new departure in video storytelling, surely, or perhaps a tasteful new British serial adapted from a quaint old 19th-century novel?'Locusts': CBS Puts Viewers in Swarms' Way
"Locusts" is this month's winner of the "T.G.T.B.K." award. That's "They've Got to Be Kidding," a little something special for films that are a little something special themselves -- but only in their alternately grin-and-groan ridiculousness.'Saving Milly': An Aloof Treatment Of a Family's Loss
No doubt Morton Kondracke poured his heart into "Saving Milly: Love, Politics, and Parkinson's Disease," a book about the long, lingering illness and eventual tragic death of his wife, Millicent. But as translated into a CBS movie, "Saving Milly," the story becomes strangely dry and emotionless, even when the symptoms worsen and the heroine struggles bravely to survive -- standard cues, in this kind of film, for the audience to haul out the hankies.

John Julius Norwich's memoir, "Trying to Please," reviewed by Jonathan Yardley
"Trying to Please" is an absolutely delicious book, in part because Norwich writes so fluidly and engagingly, in part because he has been to so many places and done so many interesting things, and in no small part because he happens to be the only child of one of the most famous and mythologized couples of the first half of the 20th century.
