Delicate Dance. In the past, television's usually toothless Code Review Board, composed of station and network executives, has concerned itself with little more than after-the-fact monitoring of occasional programs and commercials. Television can only be cleaned up, Pastore said, if the N.A.B. agrees to give the Code Authority real power-specifically to prescreen all network programs.

...just another "Washington minuet"-a delicate ritual in which broadcasters go through elaborate motions but end up pretty much in the same spot where they began. Two networks, ABC and NBC, at first seemed receptive to a new authority, then hastily sidestepped, insisting that they-and not any Code Authority-must have final say on whether or not to air programs...

It was to be inexpensive enough to appeal to three-car families and retired people, yet sufficiently stylish to attract young people on their first or second cars. Ford is attempting to attract young buyers by offering the Maverick in colors that were created at a group brainstorming session, presumably held in a cornfield. The colors include Freudian Gilt, Original Cinnamon, Thanks Vermilion and Hulla-Blue. The standard gag among the executives is that the company will entertain any name except "Statutory...
