Concerned that ABC, CBS and NBC will cut away to adventure series, the G.O.P. has formed its own Republican National Committee network (RNC) to cover the convention. With ten cameras and a staff of 40, RNC is offering commentary-free, live feeds of the podium action to any television and radio station or groups of stations willing to pay a nominal fee of about $200. So far, the Republicans have signed up 38 television groups, including CSpan, Group W and PBS, and two large radio groups, Mutual Broadcasting System and Associated Press.

...might get into when the Republicans gather next week. The magazine asserted that the convention, a minds-made-up affair, would be so surpriseless that the networks would pursue "The Other Dallas" (CBS), "The Hidden Dallas" (NBC) and "The Dallas the Republicans Don't Want You to See" (ABC).

Nearly every weight-class competition yielded a U.S. champion with a distinctive style and something to prove...
...might to some others." But the press became entangled in a problem of modern manners, insisting on knowing if she was Miss Carpenter or Mrs. Davis Phinney. "I don't know," she said. "You figure it out for yourselves." Splinter Evelyn Ashford, usually a retiring soul, told ABC television that running gave her "a feeling between space and time... You don't get it often, but when it's there, it's better than having sex." Brisco-Hooks celebrated her 400-meter-race gold medal by dropping to her knees in prayer, then jumping...
