...SEASON OF GIANTS (TNT, Mar. 17, 18, 8 p.m. EST). The life and times of Michelangelo (British newcomer Mark Frankel) are the subject of this lush- looking, silly-sounding four-hour mini-series, which also gives us the skinny on the "eccentric" Leonardo (John Glover -- who else?), Pope Julius II (F. Murray Abraham), Raphael and Savonarola. In short, your basic Italian Renaissance docudrams...
...miscues, the immediacy of television coverage has continued to overshadow the efforts of daily print journalism. But newspapers are catching up, running important pieces of reporting and analysis, like a story in the New York Times revealing that pro-Saddam sentiment is growing in Egypt. Times executive editor Max Frankel maintains that the major unexplored story of the war lies inside Iraq: "That's the heart of the war, not some Scud missile landing on a correspondent's hotel roof...
Garakani bluntly explained the Ilizarov bone-stretching surgical procedure, developed in the Soviet Union to correct dwarfism, which Dr. Victor Frankel, president and head of orthopedic surgery at Manhattan's Hospital for Joint Diseases, intended to introduce into the U.

"We'll make a cut here, and one here, if we can," said Dr. Frankel, drawing imaginary lines across the top and the bottom of Reza's right...
Though some editors, like Frankel, contend that the press has "nothing to apologize for" because the "issue is the character and nature of our public officials," others feel anguish about the curdling effect on political debate. One undesirable consequence is that able candidates may pass up the fray. The prospect of intrusive coverage ransacking family history seems to have been a factor in discouraging several "possibles" from becoming "actuals," including New York Governor Mario Cuomo, Ohio Governor Richard Celeste and Arkansas Senator Dale Bumpers. In interviews with young potential leaders, the New York Times last week found unease. "If things...
