...audience, not to edify it." This is, if anything, an understatement. Paschke's art is cold as a fish and, in its handling and sleazy color, twice as slimy. But its sheer perversity of style-which extends even to such innocuous images of gaudy Latin American show biz as Amor, 1970-sticks in the mind (and the craw) like a hook...

But neither even approached his ratings, and Carson remained undisputed king of the insomniacs. No longer. Since CBS replaced Griffin with a lineup of late movies twelve weeks ago, Carson, for the first time in a decade, has found himself in a ratings race...
