...when word leaked out that in trying to extricate herself from her contract at NBC, she had raised allegations of sexual harassment against West Coast president Don Ohlmeyer. (Ohlmeyer denies the charges; Tarses has refused to comment on them.) Since joining ABC last June, she has weathered an almost nonstop run of bad-ratings news. ABC dropped even further into third place this past season, losing a startling 13% of its audience in the space of just a year. (Over the same period, the four broadcast networks collectively lost 6% of their audience, largely because of competition from cable...
...Place--and his skirts were shorter than Heather Locklear's. He is Tarzan, ape-reared jungle king, the subject of more than 90 books, 40 movies and three TV series. Beginning on June 6 with a new documentary, Investigating Tarzan, AMC will showcase 32 of the films for three nonstop days and nights. They range from the 1918 Tarzan of the Apes through the Johnny Weissmuller vehicles of the 1930s and '40s (see our loinclothed hero beat up Nazis!) to the James Bondian takes of the 1960s...

For passengers, this means fewer nonstop flights, reduced meals and higher fares. The strategy faltered when low-fare carriers landed in the hubs and ticket prices dropped exponentially. But the ValuJet tragedy has devastated the low-cost carriers. When ValuJet recently announced plans to end service between Mobile, Alabama, and Atlanta (a Delta fortress hub), the lowest available fare on Delta shot up overnight from...
...Hollywood royalty. Her wide, playful mouth suggests the young Katharine Hepburn; its I-know-I've-got-it look can be read as poise or derision. Waif-thin, Posey must have a Slinky for a spine; her walk is a loosey-goosey dance, as if house music were playing nonstop in her head. The aura is of a Park Avenue deb who gets her kicks downtown...
