from Scott Shuger's column in SLATE, May 28, 1999, copyright Microsoft: >A front-page LAT [LA TIMES] story reports that of the 26 new comedies and dramas in the fall line-ups of the four largest broadcast networks--CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox--not one features a minority in a leading role. And there are, says the paper, few blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, or Native Americans in supporting roles. Fox, which rose to prominence with shows targeted for and featuring blacks, may have only one regular black character on its entire fall schedule. An advertising executive is quoted saying that "the networks seem to be oblivious to demographic changes." ... >At last some good news about nuclear weapons proliferation. According to an inside story at the NYT, U.S. inspectors visiting North Korea have discovered that the hole in the ground they have long suspected of being a site for a secret nuclear program is in fact...a hole in the ground. < Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://clawww.lmu.edu/Faculty/JDevine/jdevine.html Bombing DESTROYS human rights. Ground troops make things worse. US/NATO out of Serbia!
