...AIDS drugs and health care--Bono wants the world to focus on. "I think you've got too many issues. That's how we blew it before," says Jones, who raised money for famine relief in 1985 as part of USA for Africa. "Americans don't know about f___ing Philadelphia, let alone Africa. Trade is some very sophisticated politics. You have to particularize the drama for them. You've got to have a melody line...
WATCHING ELLIE NBC, Tuesdays, 8:30 p.m. E.T.; LEAP OF FAITH NBC, Thursdays, 8:30 p.m. E.T. The networks have long resented HBO, with its nyah-nyah-ing slogan, "It's not TV. It's HBO." But these network sitcoms are aiming to climb on the HBO buzz wagon. Ellie has a pay-cable veneer--an edgy narrative style (each story unfolds in real time), a cinematic look and no laugh track--but the safe heart of a network show.

And as nearly every TV newscast was decking itself in electronic bunting, Pew's respondents gave the press high marks for both objectivity and "stand[ing] up for America." The apparent lesson: the public wants the media to dig hard--for good news. Still, Bruckheimer says Profiles won't be a whitewash. "Black Hawk shows a lot of blemishes," he notes. "It shows a lot of things going wrong, and I think that's part...
...Kelly, even more than Astaire, saw it as a sacred duty to bring art-dance to the masses, and after many hits he had the clout to persuade the MGM bosses to agree. Balanchine and Agnes De Mille were serious-ing up Broadway; why couldn?t Gene do it in pictures? He could so he did, in "On the Town," "American in Paris" and "Singin? in the Rain." These big climactic numbers didn?t always fit the tone of the story that preceded them; it was like serving Cristal at the end of a frat-house toga party...
