Environmentalists and governments everywhere agree that something must be done to halt the widespread use of chloro-fluorocarbons (CFCs) and other substances that are destroying the earth's protective ozone layer -- and just about everybody agrees that nobody is doing enough.

Today, as the networks fight to retain their dwindling audiences, prime-time news programming is becoming more desirable because it costs only about half as much to produce as entertainment fare.

...Walesa could see no good reason last week as he turned down an invitation from President Wojciech Jaruzelski to join a grand coalition government with the Communist Party. After a two-hour closed meeting with Jaruzelski at the President's residence in Warsaw's Belvedere Palace, Walesa declared, "I must say I don't envy the President. He has an awful lot of problems...
