America's romance with real-life mass murder is going mainstream. Two years ago, serial-killer trading cards sparked national outrage. Now Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson co-star with Diane Sawyer and Jane Pauley. Even eggheads have got the bug, thanks to a serial-killer cover on the New York Review of Books. Hey, there's gold in them thar psychos...
...Brinkley and the Beatles) have been awkward. ABC failed badly with Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters. NBC's Tom Brokaw-and-Roger Mudd team was just as happy and long-lived.

For celebrities, Guys and Dolls has become a must-see. Last week Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were there; the week before, it was Garry Trudeau and Jane Pauley. NBC correspondent and best-selling author Betty Rollin had to settle for standing room while reporting a story. Yet what gives the show an advance sale of $5 million, astonishing for a revival without marquee-value stars, is its appeal to ordinary New Yorkers, like the dozens from a Long...
