That hasn't prevented at least 1,400 companies -- entertainment giants like Paramount as well as scores of small mom-and-pop operations -- from plunging into the field with an eclectic selection of specialized cassettes. Looking for stars? Tim Conway plays a 4-ft.-tall golf expert in a comedy tape called Dorf on Golf, and Shelley Duvall is the safety-minded host of Earthquake Survival. Anyone for instant history? There are video highlights of Pope John Paul II's 1987 visit to the U.S. and Oliver North's testimony at the Iran- contra hearings. Is the small print...
