Some politicians would shed no tears if the network were to meet that fate. Channel 4's news and public affairs programs often seem calculated to rock the boat. A series called Opinions gives a public figure 30-min. of airtime each week to expound on a controversial topic (Germaine Greer on Margaret Thatcher, Edward Teller on nuclear defense). Channel 4's 50-min. nightly newscast skips crime reports and the doings of royalty in favor of probing political analyses and stories on business, science and the arts.

Immigration officers say they will not deport the castaways to Sri Lanka so long as civil strife continues. Says Canadian Immigration Consultant Dennison Moore: "It appears that under any circumstance, they're here to stay...
...there but the heart-pounding, thum-pa, thum-pa music. Last week a Long Island shark fisherman who served as the model for the grizzled Quint in Jaws helped a young charter-boat captain land the largest great white shark ever taken on a sporting rod and reel. Frank Mundus, 60, and Donnie Braddick, 30, had spotted a group of great whites feeding on the carcass of a whale about 25 miles south of Montauk, N.Y., and mobilized for battle. But the monster did not immediately abandon the whale in favor of the crew's whiting , and butterfish bait...
