...also stand out because of their unique style, which relied on the use of often mythical background symbols to establish the cover subject's significance. The technique became the signature of the three studio artists commissioned by TIME: Boris Artzybasheff, Ernest Hamlin Baker and Boris Chaliapin, known collectively as "ABC." Of the three, Chaliapin was the most prolific, producing more than 400 cover portraits. ABC, says TIME art director Rudolph Hoglund, "were pioneers of a tradition" of recruiting distinguished illustrators for the magazine's cover art. Among them: Marc Chagall, Andrew Wyeth and Andy Warhol. We like to have...
...this dustup, journalists at first followed their gentler impulses. On the evening after the Star leaked its story via faxes to dozens of leading journalists, NBC was the only major network to carry an item on its newscast. At ABC, World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings and executive producer Paul Friedman were more leery of the unbuttressed charges and reluctant to credit another news organization on a topic they too had been pursuing. Says Friedman: "We sat around joking that after all the symposia sponsored by prestigious academic institutions, we still have difficulty coping with what's right and what...

Yet they yielded to momentum. While the Washington Post determinedly underplayed the story on inside pages at first, it profiled Clinton on Page One on the day he and his wife Hillary were to appear on 60 Minutes. The following day, when Flowers held her press conference, a Post...
What's the difference between a feature film and a TV movie? For this week's lesson, compare the taut, engrossing 1990 theatrical film adapted from Scott Turow's first novel, Presumed Innocent, with the flabby, enervated miniseries ABC has made from his second, THE BURDEN OF PROOF (Feb. 9-10, 9 p.m. EST). To be sure, this later novel -- about a prominent defense attorney who uncovers a web of shady dealings and family secrets after his wife's suicide -- is a more complex, less easily digested work. Still, it might have clicked if the convoluted plot had not sprawled...
