If C-SPAN, the cable TV network offering gavel-to-gavel coverage of Congress, sounds like an idea that's better in theory than in fact, then the idea of C-SPAN radio sounds like tedium redefined.The torture inherent in listening to Newt Gingrich or Richard Gephart speak is somewhat relieved by watching their faces. But without the picturesBut duplicating C-SPAN is not what WCSP-FM (90.1) is all about. C-SPAN is obligated to focus a camera on the House and Senate whenever they're in session.

In the summer of 1995, at Gerry Spence's trial lawyer college in Wyoming, Dax Cowart found his way.He had long admired Spence, a high-profile attorney who often is described as "the John Wayne of the courtroom." During the month-long gathering at his ranch about an hour's drive from Jackson Hole, Spence put about 50 lawyers through mock trials and demonstrations of trial techniques.

The idea was to cheer Johl up. It worked."Oh my goodness," Johl said as she clutched the bear in her hands.

He's very Obama, isn't he? The Ivy creds. The biracial parentage. The lawyer wife. The victory, after some contentious balloting, of his more youthful candidacy over the more establishment one. The selection of Benjamin Jealous this weekend as the new president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People puts a decidedly fresh face on an organization that many have criticized as too rooted in the past. At 35, he is the civil rights organization's youngest president ever, and by picking him, board members seem to be saying, "This is not your father's NAACP."
