...they are changing the model. Paxson is assembling his group of UHF stations into a no-frills national network offering family-friendly programming. When Pax TV makes its debut on Monday in about 75% of the country, it will become the seventh (count 'em) over-the-air network...
Kind of hard to find much conventional commercial promise in the movie either. Directed and co-written (with Kenny Moore) by Robert Towne, it stars Billy Crudup and Donald Sutherland, not exactly guys you can count on to open a picture. Worse, it follows by a mere two years another movie about its protagonist, the legendary distance runner Steve Prefontaine, which flopped miserably. Without Limits, which is a very good movie, will require a stroke of marketing genius to succeed. Or an unusual effort at understanding--a willingness by the audience to set aside generic expectations and engage the movie...
...every network, presenting the tableau that the drama had been missing: the repentant father, the angry mother, the isolated daughter.

But if Clinton and Lewinsky both said discussions over returning the gifts occurred prior to the Paula Jones case, the discrepancy can hardly count toward an obstruction of justice charge. Tripp's troubles -- a Radio Shack store now says it warned her that wiretapping was illegal -- may help to discredit one of Ken Starr's central witnesses. Lindsey, of course, is hardly likely to be loose-lipped. And yet their combined presence may serve...
