On TV

Critic's pick: ESPN puts Pete Rose On Trial (7-10 p.m.), with Alan Dershowitz and Johnnie Cochran arguing in a live telecast from Harvard Law School over whether the former Reds player-manager should be allowed in the Baseball Hall of Fame despite his lifetime banishment from the game.

• Critic John Kiesewetter also says that Ari Fleischer visits David Letterman's Late Show, his first TV appearance since resigning as White House press secretary (11:35 p.m., Channels 12, 7).

The goods

Cut the glare: Colonial Williamsburg, the historic village and tourist destination outside Washington, has long been in the merchandising business - everything from tableware to bar supplies - all designed in the style of the 18th century. Like these new Colonial Sunglasses, replicas of the eyeglasses George Washington and Thomas Jefferson wore. Only difference is these are sunglasses, not reading glasses. They're available in blue and green tint, $9 at www.williamsburgmarketplace.com.
