Abroad at Home; Hair on Their Chests
Date: 19 April 1992
By Anthony Lewis

The American press prides itself on its courage, its selflessness, its influence. But in the current political campaign those claims sound like a bad joke. The press is distinguished by its cynicism and its self-regard. Yes, it does have influence -- for the worse. The notable example at hand is the press treatment of Bill Clinton. Even serious newspapers have become parodies of attack-dog journalism, eager to find something -- anything -- nasty to print about Governor Clinton.

International A3-11 DEADLOCK ON AFGHANISTAN With guerrilla forces massed around the capital, rebel leaders meeting in Pakistan were stalemated in their attempts to negotiate Afghanistan's future. A1 A city held by Afghan rebels becomes a new center of power. A8 DID U.S. KNOW OF IRAQI PLANS? Government experts and congressional investigators say that warnings of Iraq's effort to build a nuclear weapon were silenced by the Federal bureaucracy nearly two years before the Persian Gulf war. A1 FIGHTING GOES ON IN BOSNIA Serbian guerrillas seized more territory in Bosnia and Herzegovina as the United States Air Force ended a two-day airlift of humanitarian aid to the capital. A3 PLEA FOR PEACE IN SOUTH AFRICA President de Klerk and the nation's two most powerful black leaders, Nelson Mandela and Mangosuthu Buthelezi, spoke to hundreds of thousands of blacks at an Easter celebration. But they exchanged veiled recriminations and came no closer to agreeing on a solution to end the violence in black townships. A10 A CHALLENGE TO PERU'S LEADER The First Vice President of Peru returned to Lima from Miami and vowed to form a rival government to oppose President Fujimori, who seized near-dictatorial powers two weeks ago. A3 SHEVARDNADZE'S NEW CHALLENGE The former Soviet Foreign Minister is back home in Georgia, trying to lead his country through the aftermath of a civil war. A6 Disagreements hinder financial aid for former Soviet republics. A6 A DISSIDENT'S FAMILY SUFFERS The wife of one of China's most prominent dissidents said the authorities had evicted her and her sick daughter from their home, leaving her nowhere to live. A7 A VOW FROM I.R.A. POLITICIAN Surrounded by cheering Roman Catholic supporters and British soldiers with rifles at the ready, the head of the political wing of the Irish Republican Army said his defeat in the British parliamentary election would not weaken his party's position in Northern Ireland.

A7 Santo Domingo Journal: Prostitution a booming export. A4 National A12-15, B11-12 BIG CHECKS, BIG PROBLEMS Some experts on corporate governance think seven-figure executive paychecks are not a real issue but a symptom of deeper ills at companies. More important, they say, is whether directors hire the right people and dismiss them when when they need to. A1 JUSTICES FACE ABORTION, AGAIN A Pennsylvania anti-abortion law goes before the Supreme Court this week, and advocates on both sides of the issue are hoping for an unambiguous ruling that will spur their campaigns in voting booths and legislative chambers. A1 Militants in the abortion debate descended on Buffalo. B11 WAYWARD HEARTS IN WASHINGTON Romeo and Juliet on the Potomac? An epidemic of cross-party dating in the nation's capital is alarming Republicans and Democrats alike. Oddly, 9 times out of 10, it is a Democratic man involved with a Republican woman. A1 ASSESSING THE HOUSE'S INJURIES The House bank scandal is sure to shake some members out of their seats come election time, but political experts do not know whether it will substantially change the House's roster, which is usually determined on local issues.

A12 Metropolitan Digest, B1 EVALUATING FOSTER CARE New York City has strict rules to protect the 50,000 children it has placed in foster care.

International 3-9 SERBS POUND BOSNIAN CAPITAL Serbian guerrillas pounded central Sarajevo with mortar shells as a high-ranking American official arrived on a mission to bring humanitarian aid and to back Bosnia's independence from Yugoslavia. 1 IRAN'S MASTER BUILDER If the late Ayatollah Khomeini was the austere revolutionary determined to smash the old regime, President Rafsanjani is the state builder, just as determined to create institutions that will restore Iran to a position of power in the region. In fact, he would like to be seen as a throughly modern mullah. 1 COURTING A TOP AFGHAN REBEL Surrounded by rebels and weakened by the capture of a western city, Afghanistan's new Government in Kabul agreed to continue talks with one of the most powerful guerrilla military leaders. 3 SIGNS OF REBELLION IN EUROPE Just four months after the European Community signed a treaty on economic and political unity, the organization is being shaken by challenges to the pact and new uncertainty over the region's future. Many Europeans are less enthusiastic over the treaty than are their leaders. 8 President Havel has decided to seek re-election in Czechoslovakia. 8 GORBACHEV'S PITCH TO JAPAN Showing that he retains much of his old stature in Japan, Mikhail Gorbachev has been accorded a welcome approaching that of a head of state since his arrival a week ago. But his appeal for aid for ex-Soviet lands has received a cool response. 9 PANAMA WAVERS OVER PULLOUT With less than eight years to go before the United States ends nearly a century of military presence in Panama, many Panamanians are beginning to doubt the wisdom of letting the 10 remaining bases close and the troops depart. 7 National 10-25 VAST REVIEW OF DIABILITY CASES Reversing one of the most widely criticized policies of the Reagan Administration, Federal officials have agreed to reopen tens of thousands of cases in which the Government denied benefits to people who said they could not work because of mental or physical disabilities. 1 Some whose cases were denied, and who may now gain. 20 NOVEMBER'S WILD CARD Political Memo: The Bush and Clinton campaigns both regard Ross Perot's flirtation with a Presidential race as a danger. But neither of them yet has a strategy for dealing with it. 1 Some of Bush's relatives could prove Democratic targets. 14 Buchanan renewed his attacks on the President. 13 For Clinton, a smooth week's return to the campaign trail. 12 LESSONS OF THE WORKPLACE In Wooster, Ohio, the biggest employer is Rubbermaid, which has not laid off a worker there since 1973. Yet tension prevails. Workers have traded raises for job security, pressured to do so by management, and by neighbors who fear that the company might otherwise pull out. 1 ENTRAPMENT AND VINDICATION Five years after being charged with receiving child pornography, and just days after the Supreme Court ruled that he had been entrapped, Keith Jacobson feels this way: "I knew I wasn't a child pornographer. But when the Government charges you with something like that, what are people going to think?" 10 San Quentin Journal: After 25 years, an execution is at hand. 10 Minnesota is adopting a vast overhaul of health care. 15 Regional 26-32 A QUIET NEW YORK HOLIDAY After a flurry of activity, much of New York City seemed to slip into a quiet, meditative state this weekend, as residents celebrated Passover and Easter. 1 PORT JEFFERSON'S MYSTERY MAN Most residents of the quaint waterfront village never exchanged a word with him or caught more than a quick glance as he strode by in one of his sober business suits. But he was thought of as the very incarnation of success. Now he is charged with a vast fraud scheme, and residents don't know what to think. 26 THE OTHER COP ON THE BEAT They walk the streets in crisp blue uniforms, their faces mirroring those of the people in the neighborhood. They look like New York City police officers, but in fact they are auxiliary police: volunteers who patrol the streets out of a sense of do-goodism, part Kiwanis Club and part would-be detective. 27 Obituaries 30 Joseph B.

Critic's Notebook; A TV 'Reality' of Dramatizations and Platitudes
Date: 20 April 1992
By John J. O'Connor
John O'Connor
When television programmers talk about reality, prepare for a classic lesson in language debasement. Television approaches "reality" as an infinitely manipulable commodity. Examples range from news coverage of a desert war and endless expert blather about surgically precise strikes, which months later are revealed to be grossly imprecise, to the steady flow of made-for-TV movies based on facts that have been trimmed, rearranged and even renamed for the purposes of entertainment packaging. In the belt-tightening business of television nowadays, reality programming means primarily one thing: cheap, at least cheaper than the average sitcom or drama. The standard ingredients of news documentaries -- an authoritative-sounding narrator, genuine news clips, authentic photographs -- are blended with dramatizations and outright speculation as to what actually may have happened. When it works, that's pay dirt.
