OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM Not every star in Hollywood is thrilled with America's conduct in the war against terrorism. Speaking at an anti-capital punishment forum sponsored by Amnesty International at Princeton University on Thursday, Danny Glover worried that the prosecution of suspected terrorists is being handled in an unconstitutional and unjust way. ''This week President Bush implemented special military courts... which will operate outside this nation's legal boundaries and possibly outside the boundaries of our nation's Bill of Rights,'' he said. Glover also argued that, even if Osama bin Laden is found guilty, he should not be put to death. ''When I say the death penalty is inhumane. I mean [it's inhumane] whether that person is in a bird cage [jail] or it's bin Laden''....

Playwright and character actor Wallace Shawn (''Clueless,'' ''The Princess Bride'') also voiced his dissent in a satirical article he wrote for the Nation magazine. Writing in the voice of a therapist treating America for its inability to feel ''closure'' or safety despite the fall of Kabul, Shawn says, ''Your real problem is simply the way that millions and millions of people around the world feel about you.'' He adds, ''Your problem, ultimately, can only be solved over decades, through a radical readjustment of the way you think and behave. If the denial persists, you are sure to continue killing more poor and desperate people, causing the hatred against you to grow, until at a certain point there will be no hope for you.''

COVER TO COVER A sixth installment of Douglas Adams' ''Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' series will be published next May, on the first anniversary of the author's death. The author of the sci-fi spoofs died of a heart attack at 49, leaving behind several drafts on disk of what editors have revised into the sixth volume of the ''trilogy,'' under the title ''A Salmon of a Doubt.'' A ''Hitchhiker'' screenplay that Adams was working on at the time of his death will also be published.
