...Siegel, 44, is a relatively well-credentialed member of the talk- show fraternity. A Brooklyn, N.Y., native, he has a Ph.D. in speech communications, and began doing radio talk shows while a college professor in Massachusetts. In 1980 he moved to Miami's WNWS-AM, where his first big on-air campaign helped defeat a proposed rate increase by Southern Bell Telephone...
...WRKO in Boston since 1981. A onetime liberal who now calls himself a populist, Williams often had Malcolm X as a guest during the '60s; today he spends much of his time inveighing against Governor Michael Dukakis. Before his role in the pay-raise controversy, Williams' most notable on-air campaign was against Massachusetts' mandatory seat-belt law: he helped gather 40,000 signatures on a petition calling for a referendum, which led to the law's repeal...

That survey showed, among other things, that 80% of students and parents opposed new taxes to reduce the federal deficit, and 61% favor a treaty drastically reducing U.S. and Soviet nuclear-missile stockpiles. Asked to compare their future financial prospects with their parents' current circumstances, 43% of the students said they expected to be better off, and only 11% thought their...
...wrong events; they cut away at the wrong moments; they stinted most medal ceremonies. The dominant, brooding presence was anchor Bryant Gumbel, on loan from Today. He was as smooth and knowledgable as usual, but with gravity better suited to a Moscow summit. NBC has plenty of on-air talent, including Gayle Gardner and Bob Costas, but no producer akin to ABC's Roone Arledge to evoke the poetry of the Games...
