...world impact (''How can he say that about black people?!''). Comedians themselves are much better at keeping the two distinct. After spewing out ethnic insults on the Tonight Show, Don Rickles (who is back on TV this fall in a Fox sitcom) usually let Johnny Carson know what a sweet guy he really was inside. Stern, after staying aloof from the press for years, has suddenly turned into a ubiquitous and cooperative talk-show guest -- the big, shaggy ''bad boy'' of radio. Friars Club roasts have long served as a sort of free-fire zone, where offensive material can spew...

...start of the two-hour extravaganza (topless acrobat on a phallic pole, Madonna easing a whip past her crotch, dancers gyrating in auto-massage), but it soon gives way to simpler, sunnier images. For Rain, Madonna dons demure black; the look says, ''Listen to the sad ballad, the sweet harmonies.''

...With a sweet lefty swing fit for Yankee Stadium's short right-field porch, Murcer was the best player on some middling Yankee teams of the late '60s and early '70s. In 1983, George Steinbrenner gave Murcer a full 30 minutes to decide if he wanted to end his playing days to move into the booth.
