...model for this changing network landscape is Fox, the fourth network, started by media baron Rupert Murdoch in 1986. With its methodical, one-night- at-a-time pursuit of the Big Three, Fox was a tough competitor because it played by different rules. Even though it now programs 15 hours of prime time a week -- one FCC benchmark for what constitutes a network -- Fox has managed to avoid the commission restrictions on program ownership and syndication that govern the Big Three. This annoys the other networks, which argue that Fox receives an unfair competitive advantage from Washington while it escapes...
Then there's the Adams House Masquerade. There are lots of interesting people. It's a good way to make a new friend--or find an unusual one-night stand. There's that guy dressed up as a dildo in the corner, although he himself doesn't look like he could do that much, if you know what we mean. Then there's that woman trying to balance a bowl of fruit on her head while singing "Chiquita Banana" to a crowd of onlookers. Oh, oops, that's not a Harvard student. It's Carmen Miranda come back from...
...girls' troubled pasts draw them inexorably to men who cause them yet more trouble. The boyfriends and one-night stands on Models Inc. expertly deplete the women's self-esteem; they are men who make remarks like "Models -- you give them some money; you send them to clubs.

Jones cinched his renown with a high-rated radio show and an exhaustive skein of one-night stands. Chester Gould and Al Kapp put him into their comic strips. Movies and TV beckoned. For a decade, Lindley Armstrong Jones was the maestro satirist of the Hit Parade -- and a crucial influence on such musicaliconoclasts as Stan Freberg, Ernie Kovacs, Tom Lehrer and Frank Zappa...
...Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Chicago, tend to be bachelors (few are women) who live in apartments as messy as the room they left in grade school. Many of them drink hard after hours, mostly with fellow workers. They mate, if that's the word, mostly in one-night stands. When they air their lives out, it's with ski holidays and ecotourism, not yachting or casino crawling. With salaries for researchers that start at about $90,000 and can climb well over $500,000 for those who excel, they could afford to dress with the flash...
