...Angeles the names often come from studios and talent agencies; in Washington, from government and politics; in Chicago, from local pro sports teams, although any item about talk hostess Oprah Winfrey will do; in St. Louis, from Busch brewery heirs; in Boston, from the corridors of the state house and city hall, the Kennedy clan and the remnants of the Cabot-and-Lowell Brahmin aristocracy. In every city there is an inevitable reliance on local TV personalities. A few elite names are good anywhere, anytime, whether they have done something recently or not. Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Onassis and Barbra...
...million. Parsons and her rival, Hedda Hopper, between them appeared in practically every consequential newspaper in the nation. On the other hand, while there are many more competitors on the celebrity beat than in Winchell's or Hopper's heyday, they tend to be editorial copycats.

Nor have the papers covered any of our forums on South Africa, on improving racial awareness or on images of minorities...
Bush spoke grandly of "the revolution of '89," the explosion of freedom, then pathetically listed Panama as item No. 1. This only drew attention to our sideline role in the truly historic developments of 1989, in Eastern Europe. Perhaps there is little more we should or could have done in 1989. But 1990 and beyond will be different...
