...disaster, the fissures in the space program began to show, and when the people at NASA started to put the program back together, they shifted its appeal from the heroism of individuals to scientific cleverness--without success. Only last year's Pathfinder probe to Mars revived some of the keen attention people gave the space effort in the early 1960s. However entertaining it was to watch the cute little robot strut its stuff, it would always be the person in space who enthralled the public heart.

...City (now), Showtime's Lolita (Aug. 2), the Discovery Channel's Shark Week (Aug. 9-16) and the Learning Channel's latest swimsuit documentary, Beauty and the Beach (July 11). The best viewing is hiding on obscure cable channels. Finding them can require not only keen summer-surfing skills but sometimes a DirecTV satellite.
