With his all-gums smile, flattop hairdo and exuberant, affable manner, Hall seems like an overgrown kid surveying a roomful of candy. His conversation is frank, unaffected, headlong. "When I'm on the air, I'm happy," he says, relaxing in his mirrored office on the Paramount lot, a muted TV set overhead tuned in to MTV. He is dressed in his typical off-hours duds: baseball cap, Reebok T shirt and unlaced sneakers. "I was born to do this. When I'm in the spotlight, I'm gone. I love it more than anything in the world.

He has so little furtive pleasure to gain, and so much reputation to put at risk, that his dalliance has the lurid fatalism of a soap opera. Then Christine snitches to the press, and domestic melodrama stokes...
...shown love and respect for James Brown are Little Richard and Al Sharpton," the New York City preacher who stirred up a storm over the purported rape of Tawana Brawley and is now organizing a campaign to gain Brown's early release. Complains Sharpton, who sports a Brown-style hairdo: "The country would never have done this to Elvis...
