...television is headed. Contributing to that industry story was Reporter-Researcher Peter Ainslie, who interviewed network, cable and advertising executives. "Network television faces threatening competition," Ainslie concludes, "but few people I talked to expect it to shrivel up and disappear." On the contrary, says Senior Writer Gerald Clarke, a frequent television reviewer, who wrote the main story: "The mini-series is what television should be producing, and despite its flaws, The Winds of War is absorbing, serious entertainment...
...convalescent home. As the fund raiser spoke, another TV series, Remington Steele, began filming a scene on the premises, and a handful of the 300 people being cared for here would pick up $174 for being extras, for doing what they would do normally. It is a frequent affair, and the deal seems foursquare, with the residents keeping a hand in the business and the business free to harvest the natural rhythm of the old-the triple beat of a pair of feet and a cane coming down the hall, as some poet said or should have.

Among the more popular new businesses are venture-capital firms, which offer high salaries for the talent it takes to dole out cash to promising young companies...
Historically, American executions were public, the last in Kentucky in 1936. Hanging was standard for 200 years, through the 1800s. More primitive means-burnings in particular-were extreme rarities even in the 17th century. Up until 1900, nearly all executions were carried out by local jurisdictions; lynchings were as frequent as legal hangings. But by the start of the Depression, state authorities had mostly taken over the grim chore...
