...Hoving left the Met in 1977 and went on to do a number of things. In the early days of the ABC-TV newsmagazine 20/20, from 1978 to 1983, he was its on-air arts correspondent. For a few years after that, he was chief editor of Connoisseur, a now defunct magazine of the arts, which I contributed to for awhile, so I can say with authority that an editorial meeting with the very tall, tirelessly enthusiastic Hoving was like sitting across a table from a windmill...

...Yahoo's Media Group could use a hit. Company CEO Terry Semel recruited former ABC-TV chairman Lloyd Braun two years ago to help the portal become a serious show biz player, and the Media Group was touted as an incubator for revolutionary new online content. But a series of gaffes ensued: plans to revive a TV pilot called "The Runner" as an interactive game went nowhere, a roving war correspondent and an adventure travel guide failed to click with audiences, and there was even discussion of having a newscast read by puppets.
