C-SPAN chief Brian Lamb has sharply criticized the U.S. Capitol Police and Senate officials for imposing a news blackout Tuesday after 98-year-old Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina fell ill on the Senate floor.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 1, 2000 -- Hope they're not big Regis fans in New York City.

For those of you who missed "Millionaire" last night, here's what happened: David Duchovny ("The X-Files") made it to the $125,000 round on the first night of celebrity we
