AMERICANA PASTORAL. When the citizens of a depressed South Carolina town find that the savior who will revive their cotton mill is black, the stage is set for a dramatic exploration of attitudes and tensions.

That rule would bar pay TV from scheduling such potentially profitable events as the World Series or the Super Bowl-or most sports, for that matter. A possible exception: home-town pro football games, now blacked...
