Johnson's debut performance set the stage for a tantalizing matchup Friday night between the Lakers and Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. Alas, Los Angeles found out the hard way why the Bulls are off to the best start in N.B.A. history (41-3). Chicago won by a score of 99-84, disappointing such celebrities as Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington and John Cusack.

Terrasson's debut served notice that here is a star in the making...

In between classes at U.S.C., she works as a correspondent for Channel One News, which sends a daily 12-minute newscast to 12,000 American secondary schools. Since its debut in 1990, Channel One has been a controversial operation, mainly because inside each program it packages two minutes of commercials for products like Pepsi and Reebok shoes. Created by media entrepreneur Christopher Whittle (who sold it last year to K-III Communications), Channel One still raises hackles in some quarters: officials in New York...
