...Pillsbury, is a leader here (as New Yorkers can currently see from a loan show of its holdings at the Frick Collection). At least one museum, the Getty in Malibu, Calif., with its $3.5 billion endowment and almost limitless spending power, seems unaffected by the rise in price. In May it was able to buy Pontormo's Portrait of a Halberdier at Christie's for $35 million and last week Manet's acridly ironic view of a flag-bedecked Paris street with a war cripple hobbling along it for $26.4 million...

Other analysts are less pessimistic. After all, the quality of network newscasts is still higher than the crime-and-accident-heavy fare on most local stations. Instead of trying to make the day's headlines interesting to viewers who may already have seen them twice, some critics suggest that the networks offer more in-depth analysis. Says Herford: "Maybe Nightline is the model for the future evening newscast. Maybe the networks should tackle the one or two most important issues every day during that half hour...
