...responded to the tragedy with careful public statements, vowing to remove all references to fire from future shows and reiterating that the characters' antics are ''obviously unacceptable and not to be emulated in real life.'' Starting Tuesday, moreover, the network will switch the show from 7 p.m., when young children are more likely to watch, to 10:30 p.m. (It also runs at 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.) Howard Stern, by contrast, had a terrific week. The radio shock jock's first book, Private Parts, already has 1 million copies in print, little more than a week after publication...
...Ohio's Bowling Green State University. ''If you have a bigot put in front of you and made to look ridiculous,'' he says, ''then that becomes an attack on bigotry. Beavis and Butt-Head, politically incorrect as they are, are also idiots.'' The problem, of course, is that preteen children -- part of the show's audience -- are not very good at catching the distinction. That is why removing the program from the early evening hours, when most young kids watch, is a better solution than eviscerating the show by trying to tone it down. Who wants to watch Beavis...
...scarecrow of a man stumbles up to three children playing at the edge of a mid-19th century Australian frontier settlement and stutters, ''Do not shoot. I am a B-b-british object.''

''Blacks,'' the fearful pioneers call them. If readers on the other side...
...hits: Alive. The song is about a mother who has disturbing news for her son: "While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen/ Your real daddy was dying." The emotions in Alive were torn from Vedder's own life. Vedder was born in Chicago, the oldest of four children. The first records he can remember enjoying were Motown records, songs by the young Michael Jackson. Neil Young came next, and the Who's album Quadrophenia. He identified with its portrayal of adolescent trauma. Vedder never knew his real father. He was raised by a man who he thought...
...English. ''I find it a good release.'' Malone, on the other hand, is painfully shy and often appears uncomfortable in public. Although he lives in the Denver area, he is little known there outside business circles, and he forbids interviewers to ask about his wife Leslie or their two children. A benevolent boss and a passionate sailor, Malone once painstakingly restored a turn-of-the century commuter boat that had ferried robber barons along the Hudson River. Among the few personal touches in his office are a working model of an 1854 America's Cup racer and a replica...
