...years she prepped as co-host on a local Los Angeles TV talk show. Encouraging absolutely no comparison with Today's Barbara Walters, Doty emphasizes that "Stephanie is not a journalist"-a fact instantly clear as she blew most of her bubble in an inept interview with Psychiatrists Karl and Roy Menninger of Topeka's Menninger Clinic. (Sample query: "Do you treat them all the same way whether they come kicking or screaming...
...Theologian Ruether, a Roman Catholic and an outspoken feminist. Eleven scholars-ten women and one man-investigate various, mostly pejorative images of women in Old and New Testaments, in canon law, in the thought of the Church Fathers, medieval scholastics, Protestant Reformers and even such modern theologians as Karl Barth and Paul Tillich.

But all these things involve an attempt to learn from and about the news of the day and to report on it--not an imparting of wisdom from Olympian heights to those mired in the news's reality.
