...CNBC's "News with Brian Williams" and "Nightline," nearly everyone -- all of whom seemed to be National Review lawman Stuart Taylor, who managed to use the word "phalanx" in three separate clips without giggling once -- compared Clinton's seemingly airtight denial to earlier Gennifer Flowers statements, which are widely rumored to have been retracted under oath by Bill at the Paula Jones deposition. "There's a reason we're parsing," Mary Matalin, GOP apologist and Carville wife told Williams: "We're talking about a kid and a President who should know better...
...alerts you to a bona fide Television Event on Friday night, 8:00 EST. Business channel CNBC -- home of the streaming ticker, during-the-break Dow updates, and Maria "The Money Honey" Bartiromo -- wades into movie waters with the excellent HBO-produced Barbarians at the Gate (1993). With recent revelations about the birth of Joe Camel, the broadcast of this savvy comedy of business manners, about the takeover of RJR Nabisco, is fortuitously timed. You get Jim Garner and Jonathan Pryce (not to mention Fred Thompson). You laugh. You learn a little something. Sure, you can rent...

Car repairmen are carrying beepers; husbands and wives rise in the morning and log on to read their E-mail before they make the coffee; the TV in the neighborhood sports bar is tuned to CNBC, because the trading never stops.

That goodwill inspired bountiful acts, such as Ted Turner's pledging $1 billion to charity and Al Dunlap's--the Grinch, to some--granting stock options to every last employee at Sunbeam Corp. Of course, we still have work to do. Managers of Oxford Health Plans padded their wallets...
...Jones may solve part of that strategic problem by taking a second stab at television, another distribution outlet where it has fared badly. The company is expected to announce a deal this week with CNBC under which it would provide Dow Jones' business news to the CNBC and MSNBC cable channels. Earlier this year, Dow Jones launched WBIS+ in New York City with ITT. But ITT forced a sale of the station after that company became the target of a hostile takeover by Hilton Hotels. "Our New York television adventure can only be described as a detour," says Dow Jones...
