...chip was a zesty new snack food, and according to a recent survey, I'm not alone. A poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation reveals a lot of confusion among parents about use of the V chip, which is designed to let us block objectionable shows from our TVs. By law, starting July 1, half of all new TVs sold in the U.S. with screens of 13 in. or larger must have a V chip installed. By Jan. 1, all new sets must contain one.

...army units and lots of examples of NATO planes returning to base with all their bombs because they couldn't be sure of dropping their payloads on the right place. Last week that changed. Across 70% of Yugoslavia, elevators creaked to a halt, faucets dribbled, stoves cooled and TVs blackened.

Overall, the show has changed for the worse, but some good reasoning must have been behind such a decision. Admittedly, the original Broadway and first national tour productions of Tommy were horrifically expensive--bright costumes, extensive audio-visual equipment (including a border of TVs that framed the set) and a pinball machine that whirled in mid-air before exploding all cost money. True, fancy props do not necessarily a great musical make (Disney's hackneyed and overpriced Beauty and The Beast: The Musical, for example.) But when combined with the already-dazzling score of Tommy, the effects of the original...
...Camping's fun; CNN's better Not far from the First Lady's desert encampment were R.V.s equipped with showers, toilets and TVs. Coca-Cola machines were also provided, courtesy of Morocco's King Hassan...
