...overall vote for both legislative and local races, the D.P.P. captured 30% of the ballots and independent candidates took 11%. That left the KMT, despite its control of the broadcast media and its fat campaign coffers, with a 59% share, an all-time low. The D.P.P.'s strong showing underscored growing resentment toward the KMT's 40-year political monopoly on Taiwan...
Havel quickly called for a recess. After consulting with his delegation for 25 minutes, Adamec reconvened the group and agreed to virtually every request except the call for the immediate resignation of his government. Next day Czechs watched in amazement the first ever live-television broadcast of a session of the national parliament. By a vote of 309 to 0, the legislators struck down infamous Article 4 of the constitution, which enshrines the "leading role" of the Communist Party...
...well. Keillor, whose new American Radio Company of the Air fills the old P.H.C. Saturday-evening slot (6 to 8 p.m. EST), is now a New Yorker himself, an unstrained and wildly germinating seed in the Big Applesauce.

Some comedy, centered more in the present than the nostalgic P.H.C. was, he said a few days before the first broadcast.

...classy 16-piece orchestra, no less, anchors the A.R.C. series, most of whose broadcasts will come from the Majestic Theater in Brooklyn, a spectacularly decayed old burlesque house belonging to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The first broadcast detonated with a finger-snapping zum-bum-ooo-ooo singing group called True Image, headed uptown with show tunes swung elegantly by soprano Eileen Farrell, the diva who stops being 70 when she opens her mouth, then went gloriously low-down with Jelly Roll Morton tunes by pianist Butch Thompson, the fine St. Paul barrelhouser from the P.H.C. days. Flying babies filled...
