...Rivera's newfound forbearance is the most recent change in daytime television, which is facing increasing pressure, both economic and political, to tone itself down. And indeed, after years of topics like "Get Bigger Breasts or Else" (Rolonda) and "He Slept with the Baby-Sitter" (Sally Jessy Raphael), there is evidence that there may actually be a limit to what audiences will watch. Last week saw the twin cancellations of Gabrielle Carteris' and Charles Perez's shows; already consigned to the scrap heap are the programs of Carnie Wilson and Danny Bonaduce. Of the eight new shows introduced last year...
...COUNTY'S CARVER SOUNDS LIKE A carbon copy of a contemporary fixture: the blowhard with the warmest stool and coldest coffee in any cafe in the rural West.

The desperation of the characters' lives in the city--stealing, living in a condemned building--hits us most, while the theme of homosexuality seems considerably...
...Million-Man March has the potential for transcending Louis Farrakhan or any other individual. Today's demonstration is an opportunity for the males of the black community to stand united and declare their presence and continued or newfound commitment to the well-being of their families and communities. It is an opportunity for black men to become empowered to help themselves and to help others. As Sadiki Kambon, chair of the Million-Man March Mobilization Committee for Greater Boston, explained, "There is a spirit out here for self-development where black folks have finally gotten to the point where...
