...attempted an offbeat mix of comedy and talk but misfired badly. Rivers brought a more abrasive edge and some attempts at wacky stunts to the format but failed to catch on. Only Late Night with David Letterman, with its hip, self-parodying pose, has succeeded in cutting a new path. Letterman's influence will be evident in both shows: each, for example, plans to take the camera outside the studio occasionally. But mostly the newcomers are following the old-fashioned approach: a band, a couch and an easygoing, plain-folks appeal. Not since the heyday of Merv Griffin and Mike...
...clear-plastic sphere that is supposed to be the universe. The students then use Magic Markers to trace onto the universe a computer-drawn map of a few hundred of the brightest stars in the night sky.

Named after turn-of-the-century labor organizer Mary Harris Jones, Mother Jones established itself as a passionate muckraker with a 1977 expose that alleged Ford had been aware of what turned out to be a fatal defect in its Pinto. Over the years the magazine has gradually increased its cultural coverage, a trend that will continue in its new incarnation. But the new Mother Jones will also...
