...Brian Boitano and Canada's Brian Orser each skate electrifying, near perfect two- minute programs. Even Cliff Huxtable wouldn't miss tonight's head-to-head: 6.0s could be in the air. -- On tape: Swiss Downhillers Michela Figini and Maria Walliser (one-two at Sarajevo) renew their pell-mell, icy-cool rivalry...

In the script, Mary Brenner works for a paper called the Chicago Post. But as it happens, Chicago Vice Mayor Richard Mell publishes a real monthly community newspaper called--whoops!--the Chicago Post. Faced with serious legal problems, the show's technical wizards last week were reported busy exorcising all audio and visual references to the Post before the first show aired. Beady-eyed viewers should enjoy looking closely...
