...cost and the comparative scarcity of the playback equipment, general-interest magazines on tape are a prospect for the future. But trade magazines, aimed at a specialized audience, can be justified both as a business expense and as an efficient way to get across what may essentially be visual information. A new camera will look much better going through its paces on tape than being described and diagrammed on a page...
...Russell has never been one to do anything halfway. Propelled by a flamboyant visual imagination, the British director, 54, has shocked audiences with his horrific The Devils, astounded them with his psychedelic imagery for the rock opera Tommy and scandalized them with his racy, irreverent looks at mighty composers, such as Lisztomania...

Yet Viewpoint introduced its Middle East segment with shot after shot of bang-bang, some of it several years old. And Laurence, who works in London, reported the unremarkable results of a poll of American viewers' attitudes toward foreign reporting while he stood in front...
