...cities across the country and 21 more will be added in September. His syndicated radio interviews play daily in 254 cities, with an average ten new stations signing up each week. In addition, Pyne is host of NBC's daily Showdown, a typically mindless daytime quiz game. Blond, seldom-smiling Joseph Pyne, 41, is on the air altogether 27 hours a week, earns about $200,000 a year...
...film festivals go, the biennial splash at the baths of Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia, seldom causes more than a ripple of interest in the world of cinema.

"In the natural cycle of life - birth, marriage, death -the church is doing a pretty good job," says Worth Loomis, vice president of Cleveland's Medusa Portland Cement Co.
