   	Well, I can't find any bit of Conan-related news that's at   
   all new or which amounts to anything other than statements that   
   someone or other has successfully appeared on Late Night.  His big   
   Los Angeles home purchase keeps getting reported by new agencies,   
   which suggests that many editors have decided this is useful filler   
   with no paticular date-relevance.   
      
   	So here's a hypothetical.  Yesterday -- the 31st of January --   
   was the fiftieth anniversary of the United States's first successful   
   satellite launch, that of Explorer I.  Had there been writers to make   
   a normal-style show, what do you imagine Late Night would have done   
   with that trivial anniversary?
