Having embarrassed itself and the nation in its conduct of the Clarence Thomas hearings, the U.S. Senate is now bungling its investigation into the source of character-assassinating leaks. As I wrote at the time, I suspect that a trio of hotly partisan aides on the staffs of Senators Metzenbaum, Kennedy and Simon induced Prof. Anita Hill to submit allegations of sexual harassment against the nominee.

The 1992 Campaign: Media; TV Viewers Get to See the Candidates, and See the Candidates

For anyone who still wants to get to know the Presidential candidates, these are happy days to be a television viewer. The candidates are showing their inner selves. They are looking haggard on the news. They are turning mean in their advertising. They are personally pre-empting entire programs. At 9 o'clock Friday evening, for instance, viewers expecting the situation comedy "Baby Talk" were instead offered Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas and a toll-free number for asking him questions. Not being seasoned political journalists, most viewers did not realize that the only important question this election is Mr. Clinton's 1969 draft deferment, so they got sidetracked on other issues, but there were valuable lessons nonetheless.

Free Fax Reports From Ski Areas
Date: 16 February 1992
Skiers with fax machines can order free weather reports and basic information on 38 resorts across the country under a test marketing program that its organizers hope will become a permanent winter service. By calling (800) 873-9803, skiers can ask for a report by fax that includes current ski conditions and regional weather forecast and map for a specific resort as well as information ranging from its number of trails, lift capacity and ticket prices to lodging and day-care facilities. The program, called Snow Country Resorts and Reports, is a joint effort by P.R. Newswire, which sends press releases to news organizations, and Snow Country Reports, which gathers daily ski condition reports for newspapers and radio stations. A spokesman said the 38 ski areas in the test included major resorts in the Rockies, Far West and Northeast.

Headliners; Disconnect
Date: 16 February 1992
A panel set up in 1989 to make recommendations on strengthening the American semiconductor industry, which produces the computer chips that are the heart of electronic equipment, gave plenty of free advice to the Government. The White House apparently thought it was worth every penny. Last week, after the National Advisory Committee on Semiconductors issued its final report, its chairman, Ian Ross, called a news conference to express his disappointment. "I guess that we will go out of business," said Mr. Ross. "We don't really see that there is a role" for the group. The problem is that the committee's recommendations often had to do with the Government putting up money to further research or provide low-interest venture capital for new companies. To the Bush Administration, this smacked of "industrial policy," which the White House wanted none of. In the meantime, said Mr. Ross, a former president of Bell Laboratories, the United States continues to lose ground in consumer electronics.
