Other stories will include the 1991 Oakland fires, the 1989 explosion of United Flight 811 out of Honolulu and 1992's Hurricane Iniki Hurricane Iniki (pronounced [ɪniki]) (Hawaiian for strong and piercing wind[1]) was the most powerful hurricane to strike the U.S.  in the Hawaiian Islands.

Rematch: Neither Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. nor Marcia Clark worked the courtroom for the O.J. Simpson civil trial, but they certainly have had a lot to say about each other.

Clark will appear on Court TV's ``Cochran & Company,'' Monday at 6 and 9 p.m.

Clark, who has openly disdained Cochran and his superfly style since they were adversaries in the Simpson criminal trial, decided to sit down for the chat to promote her new book, ``Without a Doubt.''

Prosecutor Leslie Abramson and Cochran cohort Alan Dershowitz will also appear in Cochran's company.

History lesson: Immediately following a special called ``KTLA's 50 Golden Years,'' on Thursday, KTLA KTLA KCBS TV in Los Angeles  (Channel 5) will air another special ``What Ever Happened To ...'' at 10 p.m., pre-empting the news.

``What Ever Happened To ...'' will focus at famous Angelenos from the '40s to the present and look at what has become of them.

Some people and events revisited will be Reginald Denny, Rodney King, Daryl Gates, O.J. Simpson, Marcia Clark, Mark Fuhrman, Robert Kardashian, Magic Johnson, Heidi Fleiss, Kathy Fiscus (the 3-year-old who fell down the well in 1949); survivors of the Sylmar and Northridge earthquakes, Malibu and Bel-Air fires; and Robert Kennedy's assassination Assassination

It may very well turn out that CBS' ``60 Minutes,'' as previously reported, will finish among the top-10 programs for the season, for the 20th straight year. But while that is CBS' position, Nielsen sees it differently.

In CBS' eye, and in the eyes of many other industry insiders, NBC's ``Fired Up,'' which is ranked No. 4 for the season by Nielsen, shouldn't be there, because it was only on for four weeks.

``It's six episodes or less and out,'' said CBS' ratings guru David Poltrack. That way, he said, a show airing a few times behind a hit like ``Seinfeld'' wouldn't be counted among the ranking elite.

Nielsen, however, ranks all programs with the exception of one-time specials such as the Academy Awards.

So it is, with Nielsen, that ``60 Minutes'' is sitting 11th, a tenth of a point behind ``Touched by an Angel.'' With CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast. , ``60'' ranks No. 10.

``I would argue we have the more rational position,'' Poltrack said. In any case, he added, ``This doesn't take away from the basic accomplishment. So it's the first show to finish in the top 11 for 20 years.''

No conspiracy here: Don't worry ``X-Files'' fans, despite an ongoing story line that has led some viewers to speculate that Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson) is a goner gon·er

, she'll be around for at least another season.

As regular viewers know, Scully has a rare form of cancer and of late it has looked like she will surely die. That has led to some queries by viewers about whether Anderson will be ending her ``X'' run this spring.``She's not leaving the show,'' a spokesman said.
