"Communism is the ideal," he explained, sitting in a small room appointed with two TV sets, one color, the other black and white. "But my property is mine forever...
...flounder with the abrupt departures of Anchors Bill Kurtis and, last week, Phyllis George. The Saturday-morning kidvid schedule remains No. 1. Carson is still king of late-night, and Letterman the hippest of clown princes.

Sitting in the parlor of his highceilinged home, Falwell spoke with apparent ^ repentance about his urge to attack. "Those remarks of mine don't fit this ministry," he said slowly. A customary glass of Diet Coke in hand, he explained that he simply was not prepared for the stinging criticism that came after he started Moral Majority. His wife had placed a bowl of fresh strawberries on the table and he picked at them. Outside, wide green lawns shaded by towering white oaks stretched around the white-columned house. Over the years, Falwell has received his share of hate mail...
