...fans of Oprah and Geraldo likely to be prepared for Ta-Har, a self- described high priest of the Black Israelites. He too has a talk show, It's Time to Wake Up, which airs every other Friday night in New York's Westchester County. But his tactics are, shall we say, more direct. On one show he wielded a baseball bat and delivered a prophecy: "We're going to be beating the hell out of you white people . . .

Poinsett and Ta-Har represent the lunatic fringe of the talk-show spectrum. But they are far from lonely voices. White supremacists, neo-Nazis and other extremists have found a comfortable, if not quite welcoming, home on cable's public-access channels. In 1991 the Anti-Defamation League counted 57 different "hate shows" across the country. The audience for these crudely produced and crudely reasoned programs is relatively tiny.

Khmer Rouge units under the ruthless leader Ta Mok cut Highway 12, severing the major link to the northern province of Preah Vihear. The Khmer Rouge, whose 1975-79 reign of terror resulted in more than 1 million deaths, spurned repeated U.N. mediation efforts, as did the Phnom Penh regime. A midweek parley seemed to break the ice -- for now -- and a U.N. squad was dispatched to the disputed turf. But the U.N. cannot impose peace in Kompong Thom...
