Sands had failed in his mam aim: to force the British government to grant special political status to himself and 700 other I.R.A. members imprisoned in the Maze. But he had managed to fan Republican passions - and street violence - to levels unseen in the North in nearly a decade. His death raised the specter of more terror to come and tightened the tension between those implacable opponents, the I.R.A. and the British government...

Now cable TV and cassettes are starting to offer the movies serious competition for the entertainment dollar. The gloomiest forecast is of a nation of stay-at-homes getting all their fun from the giant video screen. "We are supporting a dying business, and the change is scary," says...
