The hoped-for scenario: record companies produce the promos; MTV broadcasts them, providing free advertising for the music; viewers watch a video on MTV, like it and dash out to buy the disc.

When nominated by a fellow delegate, he said, "I decline for now." The other scenario has the chairmanship going to a Freeman, a Sabutino or another unimaginative remnant of a decidedly anglorious past. In that case, the only thing they'll be passing In Science Center B on Sunday evenings will be fistfuls...
