...outer reaches of hard-edged rap. It may not be the largest distributor of rap music (the German-based Bertelsmann Music Group accounts for an 18.5% share of the rap market, compared with Time Warner's 16.4%), but it is home to several of the biggest and baddest performers, due largely to its ownership stake in Interscope, a small label that releases Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg. (Earlier this year, Time Warner increased its ownership in Interscope from 25% to 50%.) The standards of taste at Warner Music labels, moreover, have at times seemed extraordinarily lax. Several...

...spin doctors could have been cruel: one of Hollywood's biggest, baddest power brokers resurfaces as head of a rinky-dink cable outfit that hawks kitchen knives and costume jewelry. Yet the move was hailed as a stroke of visionary genius. QVC, Diller announced, would be the basis for a multimedia company poised to exploit all the new technology soon to transform TV: fiber optics and digital compression, which will multiply the number of channels available, and two-way capability, which will allow viewers to interact with the TV set. Home shopping, Diller promises, is just the first...
