...obvious answer to the problems on the waterways is a federal licensing program run by the Coast Guard. But neither Congress nor the Coast Guard is anxious to take such a drastic step; it would involve mountains of red tape and untold millions of dollars. The next best thing is to educate boaters about the machines they operate and the elements they defy. The U.S. Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary provide free classes in seamanship and safety. But the classes appeal to the prudent, not to the boaters who need them most.

At that point, the vampires with lines prerecord the dialogue: actors can't speak clearly with false fangs in their mouths. Later the lines are put onto the video tape. In the afternoon come makeup sessions, the dress rehearsal, and then the actual taping of the show that will be aired the following week. Since editing the tape is expensive, most fluffs are left in.

During two years in West Africa, Grossman covered the Ibo massacres...
...slow writer. I hate deadlines. All my writing is done at night, usually after midnight. I take copious notes, even though I remember everything. During an interview I'm writing all the time-just write, write, write-everything. I've only used a tape recorder once. That was on the Peter Fonda piece. I felt I just had to-Peter has his own vocabulary, his own way of saying things. Unfortunately, all of the really great people to interview are dead-Hitler, that would be a great interview. And oh, let's see. Lizzie Borden. Marie Antoinette...
