...blanket restrictions on outside political activity so long as it is unrelated to a reporter's regular field. But others frown on any political advocacy. The Times, which plans to clarify its policy, declines to "explicitly say that journalists can't participate in a movement that is far afield from their beats," says assistant managing editor Warren Hoge. "But I sure wish they wouldn't."

What marks the new sweepstakes is the increasing desperation with which orchestras pursue the same handful of podium personalities. It is | not that there are too few good conductors, but that there are so few who meet the economic requirements: a hefty recording...
...program; his first week's guests will include Jimmy Breslin and Linda Ellerbee. Also on the after-business-hours schedule: Smart Money, a consumer show with husband-wife authors Ken and Daria Dolan as hosts, and Media Beat, a program on media business. Weekend fare will go even further afield, including a Sunday-morning children's show...
