Although they tried hard, Peter lennings, Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather had more than a little trouble finding other topics to hold viewer interest throughout the evening. And for that, they had themselves to thank. With sophisticated computers and tracking polls, each network was able to predict early on not only Reagan's reelection victory but also its magnitude. Much controversy followed network coverage of the presidential election in 1980, when NBC predicted Reagan's victory at 8:15 p.m. EST, long before Western polls had closed. Members of Congress advocated network self-restraint. But CBS, NBC and ABC rightly...
...about an S?) Even now, it is one steamy, and perversely compelling, picture, earning laughs halfway between a derisive snort and the bark of astonishment. Within the film's first few minutes, Russell and Screenwriter Barry Sandier have thrown every visual, verbal and sexual excess at the viewer.

The initial five series in the Annenberg/CPB Project are making their debuts this fall. The two most ambitious are The Constitution: That Delicate Balance, which returned last month for 13 episodes, following four pilot segments aired last year; and The Brain, which premiered last Wednesday (each can be seen on more...
...like nothing in Van Gogh's previous life. Seeing his desire for "radical" color confirmed in the actual landscape gave him confidence. It affected even those paintings in which no landscape occurs, like the self-portrait of Vincent with a shaved head, gazing not at but past the viewer with an intensity (conferred by the unearthly pale malachite background) that verges on the radioactive...
