...about the same time, Tele- Communications, Inc. (TCI), the world's biggest cable-TV operator, will begin marketing a new cable decoder that can deliver as many as 540 channels; next week it will announce plans to provide this service to 100 cities within the first year. Time Warner (the parent company of this magazine) is up and running with a 150-channel system in Queens, New York, and early next year will launch an interactive service that will provide video and information on demand to 4,000 subscribers in Orlando, Florida...
This is the type of system that most of the top cable companies - including TCI, Time Warner, Viacom and Cablevision - hope to build within the next year or two, at least on a demonstration basis.

He created two lives, one based in his office on the Warner lot in Burbank, the other up the coast in Carmel. His friends there have included a schoolteacher, a former bar owner and an itinerant barber. Film is rarely a topic of conversation. Carmel residents protect his privacy, even those who disagreed with his policies -- such as a modest liberalization of the zoning laws -- when he was mayor...
...mass murderers have had their day in the media sun, isn't it about time the original celebrity-psychopath got to take a bow of his own? Have no fear; coming this fall to a bookstore near you is The Diary of Jack the Ripper, courtesy of U.S. publisher Warner Books and Britain's Smith Gryphon. The tome purports to offer the authentic contents of a journal penned by the legendary London killer who slashed his way into infamy over three months in 1888 by murdering and mutilating at least seven and perhaps as many as 14 prostitutes...
