The following editorial appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Tuesday, Nov. 6:

When "CSI: Miami's" Lt. Horatio Caine cocks his head, removes his sunglasses for the nth time in the episode and utters some hyper-cheesy line like, "Evidence ... as always ... will speak for itself," it's hard not to scream at the television: "Who writes this stuff?"

Members of the Writers Guild of America do. But the television and film writers won't be crafting any new one-liners for Caine or any Hollywood or New York character — fictional or otherwise — in the short term.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A massive security clampdown by President Pervez Musharraf snuffed out a planned opposition rally by former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on Friday but left the country facing more days of tense standoff as Bhutto was released from temporary house arrest and called for a rally next week.

Musharraf's dispatch of thousands of police and soldiers to surround Bhutto's home and seal off the planned site for the event drew international criticism and led the opposition to step up its demands that he retract the state of emergency through which he suspended the constitution last week.

Oliver Goldsmith (November 10, 1730 or 1728 – April 4, 1774) was an Anglo-Irish writer, poet, and physician known for his novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), his pastoral poem The Deserted Village (1770) (written in memory of his brother), and his plays The Good-natur'd Man (1768) and She Stoops to Conquer (1771, first performed in 1773). (He is also thought to have written the classic children's tale, The History of Little Goody Two Shoes, giving the world that familiar phrase.)
