...still running the companies they had founded. Old lions like Cary Grant, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Charlie Chaplin continued to make pictures. Jerry Lewis, Doris Day and Elvis were starring in their two anodyne movies a year. Virtually all income came from box office receipts and showings on broadcast TV stations. There were no home computers, cable networks, videocassettes or DVDs. No four-letter word had been spoken, no adult body fully exposed, in a Hollywood film. Many films were still shot in black-and-white...
...university students with no previous radio experience, Radio Universidad sought to keep the people informed and involved throughout the six-month long struggle for control of the airwaves. One of the most famous announcers, “La Doctora,” would broadcast for over 20 hours on tense days.

...allure of pretty women in candy-colored outfits has boosted interest in the sport. While the numbers still pale in comparison with men's golf, attendance at LPGA events rose 5% in 2006, and it's up 10% since 2001.

In addition to the Solheim Cup, a team competition in which top Europeans take on top Americans, the LPGA owns and operates the year-end ADT Championship. There it can control the fan experience, like having more player interaction, and set broadcast agendas with a focus on player vignettes. By running tournaments, as opposed to licensing them, the LPGA earns money from ticket sales, food and merchandise. The plan is still a long iron from success. LPGA tournaments have to buy network time, sell their own ads and cover production costs...
...press conference in Greenville, S.C., when New York Times reporter Adam Nagourney accused the candidate of intentionally misleading the media about his Gonzales statement. McCain repeated his assertion that he thought the Gonzales news, which surfaced around 6 p.m. yesterday, would not get out until King was broadcast at 9 p.m., and, further, "I wanted the main stories yesterday to be about my announcement." Nagourney responded that McCain could "say whatever you want, but ... some of us walked away from that feeling a little misled." McCain snapped, "I'm sorry if your tender feelings were bruised...
