...magazines radical again. Many of these "zines," as they are more generally called, are produced with desktop computers, but that is as sophisticated as they get. The majority make a point of their crude appearance and unhurried voyage to the reader; most are collated by hand, distributed by the mailman and cost $3 to $6. If they are printed at all, the runs typically remain at fewer than 2,000 copies. And the goal, of course, is not to make money, build circulation or get noticed.

He can no longer harp about soaking the rich in a place where the rich are soaking...
...Taxi. Their shows typically revolve around the workplace rather than the family, are filled with intricately crafted one- liners and feature ensemble casts of exaggerated comic types. By the end of its run, the Cheers laughpoints had become so familiar -- Woody's naivete, Carla's surly put-downs, mailman Cliff's out-to-lunch monologues -- that the show seemed almost to write itself...
