When it televised to fairness, what of the press conference and the televised interview? Too often, particularly when one of television's designated news personalities is doing the asking, the questioner seems bent on drawing attention across bad or hoping to provoke a quotable row. It comes across as badgering. But press conferences and interviews emerged historically as a means to check the unchallenged "Now hear this" of authority. The questioner exists to make that respond to aspects of the story, uncomfortable to them, that otherwise might not get heard. A one-sided presentation thus becomes more of a fair...
...portraying the death of liberalism, others as a comment on the unworkability of democracy. In London, it was widely viewed as a social satire about the professional classes: its self-deluding hero, an architect planning high-rise public housing, seeks to tear down as unlivable a neighborhood of row houses very much like his own. The play's structure--overlapping reminiscences and flashbacks--suggests the unattainability of objective truth and the aching burden of memory. Frayn does not fault the re viewers.

Nor is the situation likely to improve quickly, as all three networks face growing competition from cable, videocassettes and independent stations. "The landscape is changing," says Sias...
...such a heroic frenzy that Second Baseman Frank White laughed out loud. "There are times," White says, "when a whole team reaches down for something that's even better than winning. I know it sounds impossible." On the subject of impossibilities, consider three hits, 18 men retired in a row and a 1-0 victory that ended on a strikeout. "When I struck Rance Mulliniks out," Leonard says, "it was like I finally was home. Everyone ran out on the field except Mick, and he was the one I was waiting for." In the dugout, the pitcher pressed the ball...
