...didn't take things that were banned by baseball, but that's because baseball wasn't banning things back then. What did he take, if anything? The suspicion continues to hang above them all, especially Bonds, and the whole affair is a shame, a shame on the game that Bud Selig allowed to happen by willfully looking away as balls flew and gate receipts soared. Please remember: When McGwire was found to be taking Andro in his big, big year, it wasn't illicit. Then Major League Baseball "studied" Andro in the off-season very quietly, one January or February...
...week business now," says B. Donald ("Bud") Grant, president of CBS Entertainment. Some industry observers wonder whether the networks can afford to churn out new programming year round. Replies Grant: "The question is: Can we afford not to? If we can improve the viewer level, it's worth it." Brandon Tartikoff, NBC's programming chief, agrees: "I think if we get more aggressive in the summer, it's going to pay back big dividends...
...Alice in Wonderland, 1975: Produced by Osco and directed by Bud Townsend in soft and hard versions, this is a musical fantasy update of the Lewis Carroll tale, with eight or ten perky songs (by Bucky Searles, who had written for the TV show Julia) and orchestrations by Peter Matz, who was Barbra Streisand's music man in her first bloom.

(She compromised by adding Kahlua.) It was noisy and festive. Orange, white, and green crepe paper twined around the mantle and the doorway. People step-danced with more enthusiasm than rhythm. HoCo members squeezed vials of food coloring into the beer...
...legislators all but scorned baseball executives' attempts to defend their drug policy. Commissioner Bud Selig, looking at times pained, at times as if he just lost his dog, claimed he didn't become concerned about baseball's steroid problem until the hulking McGwire admitted he took androstenedione in 1998 (andro was legal in baseball at the time). "No manager, no general manager, nobody ever came to me in the '90s," said Selig. At best, it showed big-league naivet, since those drugs were clearly baseball's dirty little secret in the 1990s. Said Massachusetts Representative Steven Lynch, a Democrat...
