YOUR DOLLAR'S WORTH (NET, 9-10 p.m.). "What Price Paradise?" pits the package tour and its routine activities (a hula lesson and a luau in Hawaii) against the adventures (climbing Mauna Kea, cave exploring) of independent travel...
...lethal weapons available. City planners try to bring some order out of the urban sprawl. The research institutes, or think tanks, recruit bold generalists or "futurists" to plot scenarios of the problems ahead.

Its travel stories tell how to avoid the plague of Americans in Paris. Its news stories read more like scholarly essays or finicky editorials, reflecting the attitude of its writing staff of 110, three-quarters of whom hold a Ph.D., law, or master's degree in literature or political science. There is scarcely any advertising; yet the paper's success seems virtually assured. Perhaps most unusual of all, the paper...
