...Canada, perhaps on the road to an association with Mexico; the Far East; and Europe -- the European Community -- which will continue to grow into a political union, beyond economic union. Europe, of course, is not the E.C. alone. The E.C. is just a torso. A wider network will be constructed with other European countries, not necessarily by making them members but perhaps through association treaties...
AIDS patients who tuned in last Thursday to Cable News Network and several other TV news shows had reason to feel excited. Reporting live from Atlanta Hospital, a CNN correspondent described an operation in progress aimed at ridding a 37-year-old man, identified only as "Tony," of AIDS by heating his blood to 108 degrees F. Heightening the drama was the presence on camera of Carl Crawford, 33, an AIDS patient who had received the same treatment four months ago and whose symptoms had apparently disappeared...

It was driven into bankruptcy earlier this year after a district attorney in Montgomery County, Ala. -- where 30 households received the service -- brought criminal charges against the company's officers for violating the state's anti-obscenity laws...
Ratings for Dan Rather, who has held the solo spot at CBS since March 1981, have dropped 55% from their peak. Brokaw is down 44% from his high point. And while Peter Jennings, the regular ABC anchor since 1983, has helped lift his network into the lead, the gains by ABC World News Tonight do not fully offset the losses at the rival networks. Something new is needed to bring the lost viewers back. To judge from the past eight months of surging public affection for her, Jane Pauley just may have...
