...Frequent travelers often find themselves facing an information gap. Though some savor getting to know a new area through its local newspapers, others dislike the parochialism of too many home-town stories. The nationally distributed alternatives, the Wall Street Journal and the less universally available New York Times, are not exactly the lightest of reads. Starting this week in Washington, D.C., however, and perhaps eventually throughout America, there will be another choice: USA Today, a streamlined, eye-catching and affordable (25?) Monday-to-Friday daily paper from the nation's biggest newspaper chain, the Gannett Co. USA Today...
Without the lure of big names, the nightly The MacNeil/Lehrer Report over 270 public television stations consistently provides TV's best discussion of public affairs. Robert MacNeil, once of NBC, is a refugee from network news ("aware of its frequent triviality, its distorting brevity, its obsession with action and movement, its infantile attention span").

In a separate incident, the Queen's chief bodyguard, Michael Trestrail, resigned after admitting that he had had frequent sexual relations with a male prostitute. The scandal came to light when Trestrail's lover, noting the publicity swirling around the palace intrusion, tried to sell his story to a British newspaper...
...most attractive feature of the film is its good humor. The jokes will not sent audiences reeling, but instead produce the good-natured giggles which are more natural and frequent in the world according to everyone. The introductory shots of baby Garp being tossed in the air by his mother, rising and falling with a different animated expression each time, sets the lighthearted, warm tone. Williams' restrained antics, which produce most of the laughs, both entertain and soothe the Garp family and the audience. "Don't say, Ma-Ma, Duncan, say Da-Da," he admonishes his first baby, grimacing...
