...shows, and how they will be rated? The telecommunications bill encourages the networks to devise their own rating system; if they haven't done so in a year, the fcc is empowered to set up a panel for creating one. One possible system is currently being tested in Canada. Programs are given a rating of from 0 to 5 in each of three categories: violence, sex and profanity. By setting their V-chip dial to numbers of their choice, parents can block out all shows with higher than that level of offensive material...
...minute ride to Cheektowaga, a white suburb, where she worked as a cashier at Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips in the glittering, white-marbled Walden Galleria Mall. Often during the day, charter buses would pull into the Galleria parking lot and disgorge shoppers from as far away as Canada. But the city bus wasn't allowed on mall property. Wiggins had to get out 300 yards away on Walden Avenue, a busy seven-lane highway with no sidewalk. On the morning of Dec. 14, mounds of snow lined the shoulder. Wiggins was almost across the highway when the light changed...
Much of Wallace's humor is cute the first time around, less so the second, third, fourth and fifth. One gag that holds up is the Great Concavity.

...Canada, where concerns about violence on TV have been mounting as clamorously as they have in the U.S., broadcasters air expurgated versions of the Power Rangers. Canada is also experimenting with V-chip technology in several cities. This week a third round of tests will begin in about 400 homes where encoded programming will allow parents to selectively block out material rated on a scale of 0 to 5 for offensiveness. So far the V chip has sparked few objections in Canada. By mid-March the government is expected to decide whether or not to enact...
...BOSNIAN SERB LIVING IN CANADA, I resent your depiction of Radovan Karadzic as "the Bosnian Serbs' fuhrer" in your report "Now It's Serb Against Serb" [WORLD, Jan. 22]. Blame should be placed on Alija Izetbegovic and Franjo Tudjman as well. They have done the same amount of damage to the people of the former Yugoslavia as has Karadzic. Even though I personally don't like Karadzic, I wouldn't put him in the same class as Hitler. Any personal vendetta against Serbian politicians is deplorable.
