Walter Cronkite With an Assessment of TV News
Date: 22 March 1995

Walter Goodman
"Headlines and Sound Bites: Is That the Way It Is?" No, not entirely. This assessment of how the news is being covered concludes that there is plenty of information out there, both on screen and in print, if only people would pay attention. Television news is found to handle breaking stories well, even though it neglects more complicated events, particularly in distant places. As an example of television at work, however, tonight's hourlong report may leave you wondering. It goes in for pronouncements by personages attached to such estimable institutions as ABC News and The New York Times, all in tight close-ups as if the camera was trying to get at their brains through their nostrils.

When a Midwest Newsman Makes It to the Big Time
Date: 21 March 1995
By John J. O'Connor
John O'Connor
NBC's "News Radio" is off to an enticing start. And with good reason. The sitcom's credentials are definitely A-list, at least in television's universe. The producers are Brad Grey and Bernie Brillstein, whose credits include HBO's "Larry Sanders Show." The creator is Paul Simms, formerly a writer for Garry Shandling and David Letterman. And the stars are dripping in contemporary hip. Dave Foley of the comedy troupe Kids in the Hall plays Dave, the baby-faced man from Wisconsin who hits Manhattan to be news director of all-news radio station WNYX. Phil Hartman, formerly of "Saturday Night Live," is bringing his delicious sultan-of-smarm manner to the character of Bill, the oily news announcer. And Andy Dick, who has worked prominently with Ben Stiller and Mr. Letterman (he plays Donnie, the fawning page), is Matthew, the hypersensitive apprentice who's sure he is going to be fired for things like his unfortunate on-air mispronunciation of Buttafuoco.

APPLE DISCLOSES SHORTAGES OF HIGH-END UNITS
Date: 22 March 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The chief executive of Apple Computer Inc., Michael H. Spindler, acknowledged yesterday that the company had problems filling orders for its top-of-the-line Power Macintosh personal computers and other models because of poor planning and component shortages. "We were a little timid" in forecasting, Mr. Spindler said at a news conference in London. "As a result, we left some money on the table." Mr. Spindler said Apple was "limited by chips" in some of its machines. Last week, two analysts cut their ratings for Apple because of Power Macintosh shortages, causing shares of the company to fall 8 percent, to $35 a share. The high-speed Power PC chip for the high-end computers was jointly developed by Apple and the International Business Machines Corporation. Shares of Apple rose $1 yesterday, to $36.25, in Nasdaq trading.
