...under attack by the white establishment and the need to assert their rights as women. Last week, after black male leaders urged Garcetti not to pursue the death penalty against Simpson, Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred wrote to the district attorney on behalf of the Women's Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund: "Since you have chosen to meet & publicly with a group expressing support for Mr. Simpson's rights, I respectfully request that you now meet with those of us who are concerned about the rights of battered women and who are urging you to consider asking...

CBS had become the first network to lead the ratings in daytime (with hot soap operas like The Young and the Restless), prime time (with aging but still potent shows like 60 Minutes and Murphy Brown) and late night (with the boffo debut of David Letterman). But its triumphs on the air were clouded by fiascos in the conference rooms. Losing the affiliates to Fox was only part of it. The Eye web had fumbled its rights to N.F.L. games...
