...sessions take place in what looks like a family doctor's office, but with video cameras and tape recorders as the chief diagnostic tools. Upstairs, in a room decorated with children's posters of properly placed tongues, Brooks sits in front of a mirror. He puts a button-size plastic ring on the tip of his tongue, draws it into his mouth, and presses it up against the ridge behind the front teeth. It is an exercise against the tongue-lolling tendency that Inman-Ebel says characterizes 70% of Southern speakers. She says many Southerners suffer not just from forward...
...without question, the most dramatic sermon ever aired on television. There stood Jimmy Swaggart, 52, the king of evangelistic video, ready to confront the ugly rumors that were encircling his busy, buzzing gospel conglomerate.

...another of those weeks when TV seems to have a bear hug on the nation's attention. And another week that illustrated the video corollary of Parkinson's Law: the significance of an event expands according to the TV time allotted for it. The Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary have undoubtedly been blown out of proportion by most of the press. But the three networks' decision virtually to set up shop in those states (all three evening newscasts originated from New Hampshire on Monday and Tuesday) helped magnify every twist and nuance in the poll results...
