...there's no conflict of advertising policy, McCombs says. Television and newspapers are "two different media. It's apples and oranges." For one thing, she adds, if an advertisement appears in a newspaper such as the Post, the reader can "read the advertisement and contemplate it. On television, it all flies by too quickly."

...lived life. His wide-eyed narrative, dictated to an amanuensis, is diffuse and repetitive, often couched in a quaint, flowery style. But his gusto and warmth carry him through, as they have in so many technically flawed recitals. He succeeds in making his adventures almost as stirring to the reader as they...
