...enjoy entertainment that depends on ordinary people getting their heart broken, being told they can't sing or getting played for fools? That's the question behind the protest of CBS's plans to make a real-life version of The Beverly Hillbillies with a poor rural family. Says Dee Davis, president of the Center for Rural Strategies, "If somebody had proposed, 'Let's go into the barrio in L.A. and find a family of immigrants and put them in a mansion, and won't it be funny when they interview maids?' then people could see that's a step...
...DIED. DEE BROWN, 94, brave historian whose 1970 chronicle Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee swept away the conventional belief in the "Indian savage" and the "noble white settler"; in Little Rock, Ark.

Says Hogan: "Dee was able to bring up productivity in the components department almost 20% in the first 18 months. That had never been done before." Of course, fast results aren't always the kind you want, Mellor says, explaining her choice of China over India for producing that C.T. component: "It's a great example of not making the short-term play for a higher profit margin." Class dismissed. --By Jyoti...
...Sandy Dee ’04 has recently started to rekindle a summer fling she had with the leather-clad and rebellious Danny Zuko ’04 despite her earlier claims that “it turned colder—that’s where it ends.” Some observers have begun to speculate that the seams of the pair’s summer dreams may only have been tugged, rather than ripped as had been initially reported...
