BUt you should link to the piece on why KCET is so dead, even though the writer tried to put a positive spin on the lack of creative programming.

Re: front page NYT story on Arnold ... I have always been fascinated by the recurring element in many successful people's lives of early and very specific visualization of their professional goal(s). Remember all those stories about actor Jim Carrey carrying around a fake $10M check made out to himself in his wallet, until he actually got a real one for his role in The Mask? Well, here you have Arnold, back in the 1970s, foreseeing himself one day as CA governor. Now here he is in a big budget sequel to Total Recall. Amazing.
