...Americans say they love British TV, but virtually nothing from British TV is shown on American television," he contends. "Most of what is shown is the worst of what we do. Masterpiece Theatre concentrates on simple, safe costume dramas." Simple and safe: two words that do not seem to exist in Channel 4's lexicon...
...used instead to treat curable diseases. That view was recently echoed in the Deccan Herald, the leading daily in the state of Karnataka, which declared, "The question must be asked whether so much publicity, time, money and attention must be thrown behind a disease that is barely known to exist in India." Sadly, if the resources are not committed, AIDS may soon become an all-too-familiar household word on the subcontinent...
...proposal has the advantage of using booster sections that already exist, and the primary alterations will be made only at the joints. So testing could begin at Morton Thiokol's Brigham City, Utah, plant later this month. But starting from scratch is still under consideration. Says Thomas: "The solid-rocket industry is to provide, by the end of October, a clean-sheet design (of solid boosters), which means that they are not constrained to existing hardware." Rebuilding the existing boosters, however, now seems the most likely solution, especially since it has the best chance of meeting NASA's current takeoff...
Some customers may discover the outcome of the telephone balloting only when their regular long-distance service is suddenly reassigned to a different supplier on the basis of the voting outcome in their designated area.

Last week experts projected that AT&T would claim...

Says Robert Joedicke, who follows the airlines for New York City's Shearson Lehman Bros.: "The price tag on new planes has become so expensive that leasing has become a necessity." But even airlines with a healthy cash flow would often rather lease than buy. Reason: they fear that after spending a fortune on today's state-of-the-art jets, they may be overtaken by tomorrow's technology...
