...greed. J. Peter Grace, the ailing 81-year-old chairman, announced his resignation amid disclosures about hundreds of thousands of dollars in company money that had been paid for private security guards, nursing care and the upkeep of a $2 million Manhattan apartment. And of course it has a whiff of treachery. Behind the internal inquiry that led to the patriarch's undoing was chief executive officer J.P.

The four sitcoms being introduced by Warner also have the familiar whiff of Fox: former Fox leading men Robert Townsend (Townsend Television) and Shawn and Marlon Wayans (In Living Color) star in broad and unfunny sitcoms, while Unhappily Ever After introduces another crude, dysfunctional family created by Married with Children co- creator Ron Leavitt...
