Girls' Power

By Christy Grosz

New comedy might be in short supply on network television these days, but it flowed through today's luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The nationwide organization Girls Inc., which provides education to girls living in high-risk situations, honored "Men in Trees" creator-screenwriter Jenny Bicks, who quipped that after "walking around in circles for the last 10 days" it was great to put on a pair of nice-looking shoes for once. Bicks also mused over the fact that most of people at the bargaining table were men and wondered how different the strike would be if women were negotiating. "I can tell you one thing," she said. "We would have T-shirts that fit over our boobs."
