...Daughter of Thrilla in Manila be far behind? While a Frazier-Ali bout could be a ratings bonanza, enthusiasts fear it might mar the sport's credibility if it were anything less than a serious meeting of equals. The much younger Ali calls the daughters-of-legends trend "annoying," especially in light of the 17-year age gap. "It would be easy for me to say yes, beat [Frazier-Lyde] and pocket the cash," Ali says. "But fighting is serious for me." Nonetheless, it's too early to count out such a bout.

...also reported to be concerned that Time Warner's pending merger with AOL will create an impenetrable barrier to non-AOL Time Warner companies interested in participating in looming interactive TV technology. If AOL Time Warner's success in cable television extends to Internet provision capabilities, their critics fear that interactive technology, which would enable viewers to participate in game shows and purchase items seen on various programs, could be withheld from people who choose to watch, say, NBC instead of Time Warner networks like CNN and WB.
