...really delivers what TV shopping only promised. Rather than sitting in front of the tube, stupefied by a parade of junk while waiting for something you might want to buy, on the Net you can instantly research and order exactly what you want--whether a pearl necklace or a ticket to Maui or 100 shares of stock--at the lowest price around. E-commerce is already big, and it's going to be huge. Can you afford not to invest...
Will Monica Lewinsky get big bucks for her story? Many publishing-industry insiders say no. Too many big-ticket books, such as Dick Morris's $2.5 million memoir, have bombed, and Lewinsky may spill most of her beans in public.

Evans concedes that a ticket dispute was behind his decision, but also says he's unhappy with Dave's low ratings...
...York City radio must be a comedown. (He'll also be manning the sports desk for Madison Square Garden's cable network.) On the other hand, it's a big step up from oblivion. Remember Jimmy the Greek and Al Campanis, two guys who got a one-way ticket to showbiz oblivion after making impolitic remarks about race. On the basis of this admittedly small survey, transgressions of the flesh seem more easily forgiven by the American public than bigotry...
