Lamont Library makes its debut, setting a new mark in functional design...
...unscripted boxing matches. Since January, TNN has offered RollerJam, a venue for voluptuous women in Lycra to go at one another on Rollerblades. Dancing women without Rollerblades--or much clothing--are the main attraction on Happy Hour, a relatively innocuous, if boring, hourlong USA variety show that made its debut in April, with Frank Zappa's sons Dweezil and Ahmet as its hosts...
