    How many FReepers do we have living in Europe nowadays? If there are some, I need some help infiltrating the Cannes Film Festival in France. Why shouldn't a conservative go to these events?

    November 20, 2002 Regime change, anyone? I'm not talking about Iraq, although its oppressed citizens obviously could use a more benign leader. I'm talking about a changing of the guard on "The West Wing." Maybe the time is opportune. The defection of viewers from NBC's Wednesday-night White House drama is the talk of the TV industry this fall. Its overall Nielsen numbers are down about 20 percent from last season - 30 percent if you're talking about the important 18-to-49- year-old demographic. One theory - much discussed and at least as persuasive as the notion that viewers are bailing to...
