...walls of privacy continue to be bulldozed by television. Video cameras are nosing their way into courtrooms and police patrol cars. The victims of child abuse and incest disclose their darkest secrets to Oprah, Phil and Geraldo. Now a spate of game shows -- half a dozen currently on the air, with several more in the works -- are eavesdropping on the few private areas left for ordinary people: love, romance and -- in leering if not explicit terms...

...Scared Silent: Exposing and Ending Child Abuse, was scheduled to air last weekend on all four outlets. CBS, NBC and PBS agreed to present the program simultaneously, with ABC showing it two nights later, thus avoiding the pre-emption of the popular 20/ 20.

The Grand Wizard's home, a weathered cedar dwelling and several ramshackle outbuildings, is built on 100 forested acres. Inside, Robb's pleasant wife, Muriel, prepares dinner while Oprah chatters away on a TV set in the cluttered living room. One son, Jason, 18, ponders his homework; another son, Nathan, 21, hauls in the groceries; and Robb's 11-month-old granddaughter, Charity, toddles around in her walker. The only jarring note in this domestic idyll is two Klan prayers...
