The Shroud
Date: 27 November 1994
By Max Frankel
Max Frankel
A GREAT SHROUD has been drawn across the mind of America to make it forget that there is a world beyond its borders. Except when showing "Star Trek" or some imitation, the three main television networks obsessively focus their cameras on domestic tales and dramas, as if the end of the cold war rendered the rest of the planet irrelevant. Their news staffs occasionally visit some massacre, famine or shipwreck and their star anchors may parachute into Haiti or Kuwait for a photo op, but these spasms of interest only emphasize the networks' apparent belief that on most evenings the five billion folks out there don't matter one whit. Midst all the agitation about immigrants in California and Texas, have you seen even one good report on the 23 million refugees roaming the globe? Or the response to immigrants in Germany or, if it could be found, Canada? After all the hype given to Charles Murray's portentous I.Q. alarm, did you catch even a single network asking what other societies think about intelligence tests? Or what they've learned about the relationship between talent and economic growth?

Taking Back the Streets

STREET trees wither in their cramped beds. Wretched clumps of news boxes sit shackled to lampposts. A phone booth juts out here, a bus shelter there, not to mention growing numbers of recycling bins, bike racks and, any day now, public toilets. One of America's most walkable cities has ceded its sidewalks to an obstacle course of poorly designed and poorly maintained objects.
In the architectural community, these objects -- which also include newsstands, street lamps and signs -- are commonly known as "street furniture." By allowing them to proliferate haphazardly, we send the message to residents and visitors alike that they are in a city that doesn't care.

What's Bad for Politics Is Great for Television
Date: 27 November 1994
By Walter Goodman
Walter Goodman
WITH REPUBLICAN hopefuls already showing up in Iowa and New Hampshire, and with Democrats scrambling to position themselves for 1996, television gives signs of becoming the toxic-waste dump of politics. Most of the criticism of the wretched campaign that the nation just endured has been directed at the candidates and their hirelings who turned out those noisome 30-second spots. They deserve it, but negative advertising is only the tip of the sludge heap. Television, as it has developed in the United States, is not merely a passive instrument of the cheap-shot gang. The media manipulators are themselves controlled by the medium's conventions, and the audience is an accomplice to its own exploitation.

THE MEDIA BUSINESS: Press Notes; Newspapers Opt for Teamwork in a Campaign to Offer Advertisers One-stop Shopping
Date: 28 November 1994

LAST week, as you may have noticed from those full-page ads in your local paper, was a big week for the American newspaper industry. After talking about it for nearly a generation, the industry now has a single advertising sales force that can represent virtually every newspaper in the country in an effort to win national advertising from makers of such products as automobiles, cosmetics and household goods. The ads last week, which ran in big papers like The Chicago Tribune and small ones like The Foothills Sentinel in Cave Creek, Ariz., announced that something newspaper executives call the N.N.N. was open for business.

The Cry Was 'Workers, Unite!' (And Artists Too)
Date: 27 November 1994

RUSSIAN POSTERS OF THE 1920's evoke in bold lettering and imagery the tumultuous period following the 1917 Revolution. Among the most compelling are the news and propaganda posters -- intense, even witty bulletins that were printed daily on the cheapest paper and hung for all to see in the shop windows of Moscow. While the political events pictured are as difficult to decipher as the Russian words describing them, the graphic power is unquestionable. The broad appeal of this work can be seen in "Rosta, Bolshevik Placards: 1919-1921," an exhibition at the Sander Gallery, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, through Jan. 7. (Wall labels provide rough translations.)
