Gunning for No. 1

As the end of the second full month of the 2002-2003 men's college basketball season draws near, it is becoming more and more clear that the one word that can describe college hoops this season is parity. The perennial powerhouses are still there in Duke, Arizona, Oklahoma, Kansas and Kentucky, but the dominance of any of these teams is yet to be established.

'Super Troopers' proves to be super funny

There's something unique about sketch comedy, something like a gamble. Almost always you have multiple writers, each chipping in a joke or situation here and there. The way it should work is that you get only the best from each; the combined glimpses of genius from many comedians. Plus, there's the safety net that comes from each having to prove his or her jokes to the other writers. But there are risks. Since all the comedians are friends, inside jokes slip through'jokes that rely more on knowing the person telling them than anything else make it to the final draft.
