...very cool logo, is to go on the air next March with a vague, general-entertainment mandate and a lot of live emcees who will -- this is the New Age, 21st century part -- read viewers' faxed messages on the air. Like ESPN with ESPN2, NBC will concoct a quasi- clone of its existing cable channel CNBC; last week the network named the amusingly ferocious Republican media genius Roger Ailes both to run CNBC and $ to create a new all-talk channel, to be called, unfortunately, America's Talking...
...there were a Leaden Ass award, it would have to be split between France and Australia. The French pavilion confirms the ongoing bankruptcy of contemporary art in Paris with a Warhol clone named Jean-Pierre Raynaud. His bright idea was to imprint 15,500 white ceramic tiles with the same photo of a Neolithic human skull and cover the walls of the French pavilion with them.

He has imperiled some noted scientists, and even his two young grandchildren, by inviting them to inspect the park before it is ready. Dino disaster awaits...
...Intel's high- performance product line. One of these is Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), based in nearby Sunnyvale, which has just scored a coup in the constantly changing world of chip competition: a judge overturned a jury verdict that AMD did not have the right to sell a clone of Intel's popular 486 chip. Naturally, AMD said it would immediately begin selling its own 486 chips...
