New York's Gilded Age Plus, a talk about whether the NAACP is still relevant for young African Americans. And a barber who will clip your hair at curbside for two bits or nothing at all. That's later today on all things considered from 5-6 right here on KCRW. Nothing about North Korea? Uh, no. Okay. I guess they don't have the bomb then. I guess that's conclusive proof. Everybody in Washington can relax. Thank you, Gary. You're welcome. It's just in. North Korea doesn't have the bomb. We'll do something about a guy who could be a curbside haircut. In 15 seconds, it'll be 10 a.m. That's time for a loose show. So we invite you to stay tuned, won't you? 65 degrees now in Southern California. You know, ladies and gentlemen, it's so easy to make up, uh, whether forecast, whether reports in Southern California wins this broadcast,
originates 65 degrees, I say. And for all you know, it could be true. At any time of the day or night, somewhere in Southern California, because we, uh, we have so much weather here, it's all the same, but it's, it's, it's always different. You have to be here to know what I mean. And it's really not worth investigating further, because, uh, frankly, today, ladies and gentlemen, I have smaller fish to fry starting with this note. Many of you I know feel that the world is changing too fast, that, uh, things are becoming too technological that computers, little silicon chips inside computers really control our lives, that everything is going this way, that it's, it's all too fast and, every, it, it all happens in nanoseconds.
When you get that feeling, I have a remedy. Go get some keys made. Go back into the 19th century, where the key shop still exists. It's amazing. Twice in the last month, I had, uh, the opportunity, as I like to think of it, to get some keys made. And, uh, it's been years and I thought, well, sure, by this time, you know, it's all computer controlled and it's, and they spit out a key. No, sorry. No, ma'am. No, no kids. They still make them the old fashioned way real slowly again and again and again, because they don't work the first eight times they make them. Just grinding away at your time, as well as at the little middle bits, until it just about fits. So, for those of you, unlike myself, feeling, uh, nostalgic,
for an earlier time in America, you can step back into that time anytime you like. Just get a key made. Some advice on experiencing nostalgia from hello, welcome to the show. I'll be late getting home from the office, and so will you. Cause we both got a million calls to return and a million things to do. We're not seeing enough of each other. Cause truth be told, we're up to our ears in our careers. And we're putting our hearts on hold. So darling, let me bring you up to speed. A little time together is what we need. Quality time.
We both deserve a little quality time. I know a small hotel remote and quiet. If they decide to sell my firm, could buy it. Then we develop it and gentrify it. We're talking quality time. Quality time. We both have earned a little quality time. In the Bahamas, we can watch our stress go. We'll walk along the beach and die now, fresh go. I'll take a power lunch with Robert Vesco. We're talking quality time. Come fly with me on one, kick back, relax. I'll bring my laptop facts. You work on your new screenplay. I'll update my resume. Quality time. A little frolic and frivolity time.
We'll take a seminar and self-impnosis. So we can learn to stop and smell the roses. We'll do our workshop on a grieving process. Learning to cry is no crime. We're talking quality time. We'll hit the tennis courts in our adidas. That way the sporty sorts are bound to meet us. We'll double-fault, of course, and let them beat us. We're talking quality time. We'll find some upscale types to interface with. A wealthy couple, we can share some space with. A smart attorney, we can start a case with. We're talking quality time.
Come dine with me this time you choose the one. Romance is the bottom line. And later, when we're alone, hang on, there's my other phone. We'll have a ball, but now I got to deal with this other call. We both been chewing more than we can bite off. We both deserve at least a day and night off. I'll speak to Sid, he'll make it all I write off. This may not cost us a dime. I'll fax you back with a plan of attack to let the quality time begin. We'll firm up the time frame. And you can pencil me. You better pencil me in. You can do this.
I'll speak to you back. You can do this. This may not cost you a dime. And later, when we're alone, hang on, there's my other phone. You can do this.

I like to get keys made. Hello, welcome to the show. I'm Harry Scherer. Controversial rapper. We're going straight to the hot properties column today. It should be Keanu Rooves, isn't it? But it's not. And Dolph Lungren, it should be Dolph Rooves in the upcoming sci-fi film Johnny Mnemonic, is expanding his sunset strip area home, while putting his former residence in the Hollywood Hills on the market.
The singer actor also co-wrote a book called The Ice Opinion in which he defends himself, I guess, and his co-writer against charges and his albums exacerbate racial tensions. He, as I see now, not Dolph or Keanu, he is building a $250,000 recording studio as well as a solarium and a pool at the sunset strip area home that he purchased in 1992 for $1.2 million sources, sage. But Jim is not here because I had to say sources say, myself, the residence is about 5 years old and 4,500 square feet in three levels, the four room recording studio, which is being soundproofed. Well, what a good idea that is. He's got good advisors, this T, will have an eight-foot long and three-foot high baby shark tank when completed this month. John Stoddard, who designed Ice Tea's house. All right, well, John, congratulations on the soundproofing idea. Using the old noggin, he's working on plans for the pool, which is expected to be built within a couple of months with city to ocean views on one side. I want to know more about this eight by three shark tank. And I cannot. No way, no way, Jose. Finally, an update from the hot property column.
Rosanne and Tom Arnold, speaking of a shark tank, Rosanne and Tom Arnold may be headed for divorce court, but the $3 million house they were buying through probate court has closed escrow according to public records. The house is next door to the Arnold home in Brentwood and is expected to be added to the compound. To the compound, the Arnold compound. Who knew? Who knew they had a compound? Maybe that's where they'll put the shark tank. I think everyone in show business needs to have a shark tank. Just as a place to chill out, you know, from the real shark tank outside. So, ladies and gentlemen, this week was one in which the names of things or the way that we measured them were changed in one case to change our behavior in another case, not to.
What is he talking about? Well, here, right here in this paper. Look, look at this. Now, I'll look at it for you. The scholastic aptitude test scores will be going up 100 points. Beginning in April 1995, you probably heard this story, the college board will be recalibrating its scoring of the SAT. The bottom score will still be 200 in the top score, 800, but it will be easier for everyone to get higher scores. The raw scores will result, same raw score will result in a higher final score. A 730 will become an 800. A 430 will become a 510. The performance that generates a 424 today will now generate a 500. This kid is no brighter. Says Bradley, Jake Quinn, one in senior project director of the college board.
The kid is no brighter. Doesn't have any more bright answers. It's just the label is higher. Mr. Quinn said they were making the change so students would have a better sense of what their scores mean. When the current scoring system was established in 1941, 500 was the average score for each test. Math and verbal ever since then. The average has gone down. Now it's a 424 verbal 478 math. So the college board officials have decided to re-center the scale, changing it. So the average student will once again get scores of 500 in verbal and math. Well that would be the answer if there is global warming, wouldn't it? Much cheaper than doing anything about the environment has just changed the thermometers. Re-center them. That would be one way to do it. Similarly, perhaps this week the United States State Department announced acknowledged really that we're not considering the slaughter of at least 250,000 people in Rwanda, a genocide. This followed by a day Pope John Paul publicly deploring the killing of 13 priests in Rwanda.
The 250,000 bodies floating down the river into Lake Victoria, he didn't mention but the 13 priests he publicly deplored they're killing. The State Department says they're not calling it a genocide, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a genocide. It's just that if they call it a genocide then the genocide treaty kicks in. We might have to do something about it. Since the American public doesn't want to do anything about Rwanda, we won't call it a genocide. Unless the American public decides, you see because if we call it a genocide then there might be news pictures from there and then the American public might decide we have to do something about it, which the government really doesn't want to do, even if the public decides they do. So to keep the news cameras away from it, since they won't go unless we call it a genocide, we won't call it a genocide. Let's still avoid that messy Bosnia thing, because somebody loosely called that a genocide and loosely mentioned death camps one time and we haven't been able to straighten that policy out yet.
So if we just don't call it a genocide, we might not have to do anything at all about it. That just recenters it, really. See, recenters the average amount of genocide in the world, which anyway, ladies jump in this week, Bob Dole, not content with taking every position imaginable on healthcare reform, decided to change his mind about Oliver North. Last Sunday on the, what was it, meet the, meet the nation or this week with someone, he said he would have a difficult time supporting Oliver Northley newly nominated Republican candidate for US Senator from Virginia. And about four days later, Bob Dole changed his mind and said publicly, issued a statement, didn't say anything publicly, issued a statement that said he would do everything in his power to help Oliver North get elected, including campaigning in Virginia.
This is after Bob Dole spent an hour, meaning with Oliver North, which raised, I know in my mind, possibly in yours the question, what went on during that hour? A distilled answer to that question is coming up moments from now here on the show. I want to tell you something, it's not a secret or anything, you're not alone and being alone at the end of a perfect day. And if you leave on your dependence, then they will gain their independence, don't make a matter of yourself, it's just the end of a perfect day.
And it's never how it seems, the rain may fall on the baseless skins, but in a reddened testimony or that say, I never really knew you anyway. I want to tell you something, now don't go crazy or anything, just want to tell you that it's over, it's the end of a perfect day. Do you own sign language, don't want to knock a sandwich, now you can love or you can hate, it's just the end of a perfect day. You can't get inside with someone, so don't ask me if we're close, I really can tell you but I know you wouldn't really listen anyway. It's a pain you've got to bear, and it's always going to be there, but if you're just a bit tomorrow then the world will carry on without you anyway.
No longer matter it seems, can't stop falling apart at this stage. It's a matter, no matter what I'm with me, I should ride down to hundreds of times, put my hand on my heart and say that I don't want to lie, don't want to lie, don't want to lie about the way it is. I want to tell you something, don't ask the price now or anything, now you can revel in yourself because it's the end of a perfect day. No, it's not a really world affair, with people dying of their own despair, but in a written testimony on your saying, you never really knew them anyway. I'll never satisfy, I'll never even try to.
I really can tell it just depends what you remember at the end of a perfect day. So, Colonel North, welcome back to Washington, I expect you regard this now as an enemy territory. Senator Dole, I'm pleased and relieved that you chose to see me. This town may be enemy territory, but I'd like to see your offices more than just neutral space. Sorry, you said on television that you couldn't endorse me. I told my wife Betsy, this is an honorable man who sacrificed, I respected, acknowledged, how can he be such a... pardon me for my rough language here, but I was quite emotional at the time. How can he be such a dickball? Well, that's a day one. I've been called everything, especially by some of your people since Sunday. Well, you know Senator, people keep being surprised by the success of my part of the Republican Party, given our relatively small numbers.
You know what our secret is? We see there being only two sides to a question, God's side and the other side. That's why we'd like to see you on the right side. God's side. It's the right one to me. How about you? Listen, Colonel, I was busy defending Richard Nixon when you were still praying that bootcamp would end. I served my country on the free battlefield, not on the basement of the White House. You know, some of us up here have our own secret for survival in this town. We see there being only two ways of looking at something too. It's either good for the Republican Party or it isn't. Your face is going to appear on a lot of mailings and up by democratic opponents of my colleagues come this fall. Yes, sir, in the millions of dollars, I'm getting come 90% from the states of you and your colleagues. I know that.
And you'd like to get some of that money they're sending me back sometime. Wouldn't that be a neat idea? Colonel, the best thing that happened to Republican fundraising is a Clinton health plan. You spend your money on your own campaign. Movement Senator. It's more than a campaign. It's a title wave of righteousness. I don't know much about title waves, Colonel. Can't is a tornado country, but let me ask you something. Why do you want my endorsement anyway? Aren't I part of what you're running against the Washington establishment? Isn't it harmful for you to even be conferring with battled me? I didn't come here today to help myself, Senator. I came to help you. It seems to me that come next year when this wave has swept this party to a majority in this Senate, you might want to be majority leader. And you might want the rookie class of 94 on your side. Let me just check right down to the con here. This place runs on people giving their word. I got account votes. Somebody tells me they're voting for something. They end up voting against it. They may have saved their asses with some local big shot, but I end up eating with George Bush used to call do-do.
You lied under oath to some of the people. I actually trust. Kind of. Senator, lying to that committee was something I did for my president. Well, he's earned an endorsement. The way I read it is later did everybody accuse you of being a pal of his wacky daughter. Sure, with all respect, Ronald Wilson Reagan at this point in his distinguished career can't tell a cowboy from a cow pie. Its object still gives me kind of emotional. I don't. I don't know if you ever fell on a grenade to protect your commander in chief. Get the water works, Colonel. I learned to cry for 60 minutes. I know how it's done now. Senator, don't you're my kind of guy. A fighter. A born fighter. A guy will go after the enemy with everything he's got. And if he's got to get his bayonet dripping with guts more than once, it's not going to steer him off course. I'm going to take that as a compliment. Good.
So, let's see. I'm just improvising here. Let's say that you want to run in the 96 presidential primaries. Let's say that through a couple of people in a couple of enterprises, I had access to information that could blow a few of your opponents right out of the water. Let's say that material could be fed to Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis with no one being the wiser, not even Rush Limbaugh. Wouldn't that be a neat idea? Listen, Colonel, at this point you might as well offer me toll missiles and a Bible and a cake. You want them? Not the cake. Forget the cake. You need missiles? They're kind of nice, I suppose. It can be done, my friend. Shall I have Mr. Gorbana Farr get in touch with your people? You still don't have any business with him? No, sir. That's the new guy's code name. I could be the first majority leader to have a tozer, sea-launched or ground-launched, sir.
Listen, Olly, I got a filibuster to run. I'll issue the statement of support and I'll promise to campaign for you, but it'll only be a press release. I won't go on camera with you. And if we can't make a deal in the missiles, I won't actually campaign for you. Senator, you have my word. Well, let's see if it's worth dollars or pay so, huh? Little token of trust from a Marine to a heroic soldier, sir. I brought you a little tape of one of Charles Robb's sex parties. Thanks, I got a box full of Jennifer Flowers tapes here somewhere, if you got them, sir. Selling them. Good deal. Well, talk to you soon. Yes, sir. You won my heart when trouble skies would come.
You are my one and only faithful one. I want to really, really thank you love. Oh, thank you love. With all my heart and soul, I thank you love. Each day that comes and goes, I thank you love. I thank you cause you gave me true love. Whoa, I was lost. Somewhere along that road, I was lost. And on that lonesome road, I bridges crossed. You showed me the way to take your love. Whoa, it's a miracle. Just like the sunshine makes the crowd go. That's just the way it changed my whole life soul.
Through the sunshine of your tender love. Whoa, thank you love. With all my heart and soul, I thank you love. With all my heart and soul, I thank you love. I thank you cause you gave me true love. Oh, thank you love, and when I'm down, you'll tell me squeezy edge and if not. And I feel just like a talent with my time. Cause I can feel the needness of your love. Oh, thank you love. That's just the way it changed my whole life soul. Through the sunshine of your tender love. With all my heart and soul, I thank you love.
With all my heart and soul, I thank you love. With all my heart and soul, I thank you love. I thank you cause you gave me true love. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing. Oh, boom, boom, me. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing. Yes, it's the sound of talent on display. It's my favorite time of the year, really. State beauty pageant season. And there's talent to spare. I said spare, not this spare. Anyway, it is ladies and gentlemen.
The state beauty pageant season leading up to the Miss America pageant. I guess it's in September. When do they need ratings again? September. And again, despite all of our efforts, despite the efforts of feminists and women generally, still when serious topics are discussed on television Sunday mornings or any other time, the vast majority of people asked to clock in with their opinions and their observations are men. It is only, you see, at events such as the Miss Kansas pageant, that women albeit dressed in evening gowns with a band playing in the background are asked to speak on subject of great concern to all of us. Here's MC Philip Palmer, won't you? Welcome back to Pratt Kansas. We are now entering the third and final phase of competition.
This is the evening wear competition. And you probably already know, if you've been paying attention tonight, that this is 15% of the overall score. We're also going to throw out a question on their critical issue. What that is is an opportunity for them to stand on the platform that they plan to use as Miss Kansas if they are so chosen by the panel of judges tonight. So we're going to begin with, contestant number eight, Chasney Briggins, Miss Dodd City. Chasney, you are concerned about a loss of family values and the increase of dysfunctional families. What values do you consider most important for families to uphold? I would say first of all, it would be education by educating our parents and making them the primary role models in our children's lives. I feel that they need to see we can begin to invest values back into our children. By restoring and restructuring the school system with an emphasis on more self-esteem awareness programs, I feel that children can begin to become individuals of their own
that they can pass on to future generations. Contestant number 22, Kelly Potter, Miss Hardland. Kelly, you have made it your mission to try to reach the youth of your community and instill qualities that are essential for a positive self-image. What advice would you give parents who have never had the opportunity to develop their own self-image on instilling a positive self-image in their children? I want to begin to say to all the parents, reach out and pat your child on the back and let them know that they can do whatever they want to do. Encourage them to get involved in extracurricular activities within their school, to make a friend and to be a friend, as well as to check into volunteer organizations within your community. And most of all, let them know that they can become and do whatever their heart desires. I'm living proof. Contestant number 4, Miss Chini Lake, Amy Keller. Amy, your best childhood friend died as the result of excessive alcohol consumption.
You believe alcohol consumption education for children should be provided. Do you feel that alcoholism is a learned addiction or genetic disease and how does your education program address that issue? I don't think alcoholism is one thing. Alcoholism starts and it's the reason for everything. I think it's a culmination of both a learned behavior and genetics and I think that's been proved especially from the genetics. I wish we could just take our children and educate them and let them know not to use alcohol as a crutch that there are more important things in their lives. Contestant number 2, Miss Wheat Capital, Tracy Renee Anderson. Tracy, you have a passion for improving the quality of education. You see more parental and community involvement as essential. What would you say to convince parents and the community to become more involved in the educational process?
I think we need to realize that we all have a lot to gain from improving the education of our children. First of all, just from a parental standpoint, parental involvement is the single greatest indicator of child success in school. And then on the societal aspect, we have so much to gain as far as reduction of crime, improvement of our economy, improvement of our standing in the international market, and et cetera, et cetera. So I think there are many benefits to improving the education of our children. Contestant number 9, Miss Hutchinson, Keisha Williams. Keisha, you believe that teaching self-esteem at home and through the school system is key to combating the incredible number of social problems among teenagers today. What would you do as a parent if you felt your child's teacher was damaging your child's self-esteem? Well, first of all, I'd hope that I could go through the proper chain of command to get to the person, first talk to with the teacher, and then go on to higher places so that I could help to teach that teacher how to encourage my child to have high self-esteem.
Contestant number 11, Amy Lynn Graber, Miss Archansas Valley. Amy, you have proposed parenting classes as part of your three-pronged program to build self-esteem and children. What would be the most important topics covered in your parenting classes? I think most importantly, I would make sure that parents understand the importance of their child's self-esteem. I would give them ways to improve and maintain their child's self-esteem and I would make sure that they encourage and support their children and everything they do, both when they succeed and when they fail. Contestant number 20, Trisha Schaefer, Miss Southwest. Trisha, you have indicated a great concern over eating disorders and treatment. What influence do you believe public opinion has on people with an eating disorder and youth in general? I think the public opinion has kind of set an image that we need to be super-slender to be popular or accepted, and I think that we need to overcome that.
We need to teach our children and our youth that we need to accept ourselves except what we can control, add nutrition, add exercise, and cut it, give them an image that they can be accepted, however they are. It takes us accepting them, realizing them, and helping them out to overcome that eating disorder. Contestant number 7, Cara Crossman, Miss Metro KC. Cara, you have expressed a great concern over violence in America particularly as it appears nightly on the television. Knowing that the television networks develop programs to capture the largest market share and that only the programs with the highest percentage of viewers survive, how would you stop this prime example of supply and demand? I think first of all, we need to realize that violence cannot be accepted. If violence is not accepted in society, people will not watch these programs that are so detrimental to our youth, and through not watching these programs, our television stations will understand that this is not acceptable.
Well, that concludes the competition for this evening, even where is now over. No, no. He doesn't mean the look, ladies and gentlemen, he just means the competition. So, finalists for Miss Kansas are concerned with self-image. Children, parents, and teachers all need to be educated. The whole eating disorder thing might be solved if they had some fat chicks in the contest, I guess, but none made it through this year. And et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Thank you. But there's no need to be sad, too.
And you know, when it's like this, and life is like a heart, you know I only think about you. You say you live thinking about me. You can say if it's like this, you'll have to keep your hands on me. Only this love from the bottom is not the way to decide. Only say, ladies and gentlemen, you'll have to keep your hands on me. I take you seriously, but you say it's easy. You tell me if it's like this,
and I regret the cold that comes from the sun. I insist on being serious, I want a smile. I don't know what to give you, I don't want to talk to you. You're a fool today, I take you seriously. But make sure you learn, you need to learn. What you decide or not, you say if you don't know, but there's no need to be sad. You know when it's time to leave the heart.
You know I only think about you. You say you live thinking about me. You can say if it's like this, you need to keep your hands on me. Only this love from the bottom is not the way to decide. Only say, ladies and gentlemen, you'll have to keep your hands on me. I take you seriously, but make sure you learn. You tell me if it's like this, and I regret the cold that comes from the sun. I insist on being serious, I want a smile.
I don't know what to give you, but there's no need to be sad. You're a fool today, I take you seriously. But make sure you learn, you need to learn. What you decide or not, I take you seriously, but you say if you don't know, but you say if you don't know, you need to keep your hands on me. I insist on being serious, I want a smile. I don't know what to give you, but there's no need to be sad. Hello, I'm Jim Franklin, your guide to what's hot and what's hotter,
the world of infomercials. Welcome to Infomore World. Pam Dolbert, formerly TV's Pam Dolbert, has finally found something to get her as excited as she was when Mork first arrived from Ork. The tutti redhead is back, hostessing a fast-moving half-hour for the Mattel people, and it's no insult to the as-yet perennially youthful Dolbert to say that on this well-lit and well-photographed production, she's not the only doll on the show. The rays on deck of the broadcast is to sell three new pricey dolls and Mattel's Barbie series, Benefit Ball Barbie, Opening Night Barbie, and Extravaganza Barbie. But the deeper meaning of this latest product from the prolific Infotronics team is to examine our relationship with the Totemic. Never has the increasingly blurry line between fantasy and so-called reality been clearer than when we meet one of the major characters of the piece, a greyhead woman named Susan, who was a master collection of 3,000 Barbies.
Her enthusiasm for Benefit Ball Barbie, as understandable as it is infectious, seems particularly focused on the fact that the doll's designer gown, almost fetishistic in its power to arouse fantasies and doll barender guests, has a working zipper. But, totalizing character insights lurk behind every sequin in this well-crafted piece. Take Carol, the designer of the outrageous gown, worn by Benefit Ball Barbie. She tells us, in an unguarded close-up, that she imagines this is the gown she might wear to the Oscars. We are left to ponder the unspoken irony that they don't give Oscars to the designers of doll dresses. These designer sequences, there are two in the show, demonstrate the knowing mark of director Kim Fastbinder, who brings a softness bordering on the dreamy to these encounters with women whose favorite thing about designing for Barbie to hear them tell it is, her scale. By contrast, a gently jovial, all-girl session in Pam Dober's living room set, where four different Barbie collectors
work out their lack of angst, is as sharply focused and brightly lit as any of Mike Levy's now classic, ovr, refreshingly than commercials within the infomercial, incorporate footage we haven't seen during the narrative sequences, including documentary-style clips from attendees at a Barbie Collector's Convention, trying these disparate elements together into a satisfying whole, is the repeated Delphic warning that the financial gains collectus keep talking about are not guaranteed and may not occur. Here is the dialogue between reality and fantasy most nakedly thrust before us. What are these gains? Why did the blonde woman who quit a job at the bank to become a dealer in Barbie collectibles feel so sure about these gains? When we are told they might not even happen. Did we ever dream that little Barbie would be our escort to a mobious strip of ambivalence? And for those who believe that the demands of commerce have squeezed artistic possibilities out of the infomercial, required viewing would be the scene in which Lois, a relatively new collector,
confesses to her colleagues that she actually plays with the dolls in her collection, even though she knows they'd be worth more if they never left their boxes. Even she finds synthesis, she knows her destiny is ultimately to buy two of each doll, one to play with, one to put in a wall-to-wall unit on this turb. Nowhere this side of Robert Altman is plot woven so totally out of character. And Delber is a charming mix of delight and amazement. She never loses the inner child that, as she reminds us in her epilogue, Barbie is a spark to help keep alive in all of us. By the end of the half hour, the idea of paying $180 for three dolls has become the scene plausible. When mainstream so-called movies seem increasingly fixated on technology, this show is a welcome reminder of the power of relationships. After all, Delber says at the end, we each have a different relationship to Barbie. And for the 50% of the audience that might not classify itself as female, the work serves a broader function. We are all two male flies on the wall
at an unforgettable girl's night in. On the Franklin Informometer, with one being great and ten being best, and eight, the only thing this show lacks is a sequel. I'm Jim Franklin. Join me next time. I'm in the front row at 3 a.m. to preview the newest informersholes on Infomer World. So long. One, one a time, a long, long time ago. Why, ever you need me, I would surely follow. Girl, you put me through some pain in misery. Now you stand there on my doorstep, telling me how much you need me.
Ain't nobody home. Girl, ain't nobody home. How many times I beg for you to come home. But, you're laughing at me and said that me all through my burning tears. I saw you walk away. My baby, to forgive you. But this time, baby, you'll turn to God. Ain't nobody home. Girl, ain't nobody home. Girl, I used to love you. Please, no one else above you. Give you everything that I own, baby.
Yeah, Girl, you can't come back here. Ain't nobody home. One, a lot of times when you went on your way. How, I hoped and prayed that you'd come back someday. But, time has made some changes. Turn me upside down. Now you can be to forgive you. But this time, baby, you can turn right around. Ain't nobody home. Girl, ain't nobody home. Nobody home. Girl, ain't nobody home. Now maybe the State Department will be working on, you know, a definition that is not quite genocide,
but doesn't offend our sensibilities totally by ignoring the situation in Rwanda. Rwanda's side, you know, might be an agreeable compromise, or since most of those being killed are members of the two twos being killed by the Hootsies and they would be two to side. Anyway, you get the idea. Go on record as saying something is being killed. Ladies and gentlemen, Jim is apparently the victim of World Cup fever.

Cousin O.J. takes Homer for the ride of his life on an all-new sipsons Thursday on Fox. Now here's the show. Sit right behind me. I can smell a review.
There was something I smelled before. Went through a red light while I spilled my brain. I could feel something sticky on the floor. I said, Miss, you gotta tell me where you want it. Go, too. I can't keep driving around the same flag. So I crumpled my coat and pulled the gum off my shoe. And then she told me, just shut off and keep your eyes on the road. I just tried to say it. Just tried to say it. Just tried to say it. Well, I watched with different hands on the bag in her lap while I scratched the bolts on my head. I knew that my cap was just a getaway car. But I shut up and drove like she said. I took the fight off my door and then I offered a one. I said, lady, are you a fix?
Then she reached in her wrist and she pulled out a gun and said, now just shut up and keep your hands on the wheel. Just tried to say it. Just tried to say it. And then the moon disappeared and it started to rain. So I turned the windshield wipers on full. And the bag in her lap I saw the name of a big bang downtown. And I said, you don't have to worry about it. And then the moon disappeared and it started to rain. So I turned the windshield wipers on full. And the bag in her lap I saw the name of a big bang downtown. And the moon disappeared and it started to rain. So I turned the windshield wipers on full. And then the moon disappeared and it started to rain. So I turned the windshield wipers on full.
And then the moon vanished and it started to rain. So I turned the windshield wipers on full. And then the moon disappeared and it started to rain. So I turned the windshield wipers on full. And then the moon disappeared and it started to rain. I'm trying to drive it down the dark side Street she was facing her hair in the mirror I made a left turn at a yellow light Throwed my cow, fast for the peer She boarded the boat and turned and blew me a kiss And later on when the squad came round I ate a handful of peanuts that I told him this I don't remember much except just keep your hands on the wheel I just tried to see her just tried to say Just tried to say just try to say Just tried to say just try to say Just tried to say that to me And trying to say just try to say

Oh, man, ironically, I'm sure. Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show. I'm Harry Shurrer from where it all happens. Don't you know, everything should originate out here because here's where it's all happening, isn't it? Don't you feel that way? I mean, now anybody who actually got to see the NBC network Friday night, I would really like to know because there's one rumor that's been sweeping Los Angeles that I've been unable to verify because nobody here has any way of knowing. Did they actually stop the Nick's Rockets game so the players could watch?
Oh, Jay Simpson getting chased because people here believe that. It's true. It's true because they preempted the NBC coverage for our own fine local coverage since there were only 38 other stations covering the same thing at the same time. Why would you want to watch basketball? So we inquiring minds need to know that, first of all. I'm going to try ladies and gentlemen to deal with some other things that happened this week. I know it's hard for all of us to focus on anything else. I'm going to try perhaps the most undeservedly undercover news event of the week, just from sheer, I don't know, comedy perspective, I guess would be the publicity stunt dreamed up by the California poultry producers in Washington, D.C., they're trying to get a bill passed through Congress that would make it illegal for chickens to be labeled fresh if they've been refrigerated at below 26 degrees Fahrenheit.
California's a big poultry producing state. We got some right out back here, but right behind the Lichodo, just for the eggs. And the major chicken producers in other states, let's say Arkansas, for example, contend that this is just a attempt by California to, and I'm being metaphorical here, freeze out out of state competition because you see it, there's so much farther away, they have to refrigerate them at a lower temperature or they'd be worse than Arkansas, chickens are naturally anyway. I'm a Californian, I admit it. So, Californians say, look, we're just trying to, it's truth and labeling, something that's been refrigerated below 26 degrees, really, it's frozen, it's really not fresh. To prove their point, they gathered legislators from the state of California, and celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. And they took chickens that had been refrigerated
to below 26 degrees and they went bowling with them. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, bowling with chickens. Why didn't we see that? It's other stuff, it's other stuff got in the way. It's other stuff. There's tragedy all around. For me personally, the greatest tragedy of this week, the whole O.J. Simpson thing, aside from the people who the children and the victims, the greatest tragedy is that it's just given television shows one more excuse to book Bill Bennett and get him some more air time. Get that man off TV, please, before it's too late. He is the most dangerous man in America, end of story. From, hey, you know what would get us, our minds off the O.J. Simpson thing, hot property, huh? Let's see. O.J. Simpson's estate in Brentwood is, no, that's hot property of the future. Let's go with hot property, wouldn't that be? Call the psychic hotline and find out what's gonna be the hot property column a year from now. No, let's go with what's here now, right here, reality.
Actress Angie Dickinson has purchased the Beverly Hills home of the late cartoonist Walter Lance creator of Woody Woodpeg. I don't know why that makes me laugh, it just seems reality is too silly now. Dickinson who participated in it was the best known, fourth thing. Now appearing with who's, hmm, caused a stir last November. Oh, I didn't know this. She caused a stir last November when she walked out on the surprise taping of this is your life. It's tribute to her saying that she had great regret but just couldn't do the show. Who knew they were still doing this is your life. Lance who created Woody Woodpecker and other from in your cartoon characters died in March. His wife Gracie provided Woody's laugh in hundreds of cartoons. The Lance had owned the one story contemporary house since it was built in 1966. The house has two bedrooms and a pool. Dickinson bought the home for just under the 1.25. Oh, Angie, just under. Like you're gonna screw the Walter Lance estate,
please, dear, pay the asking price. Will you, you can afford it. Just under the 1.25 million dollar asking price says who Jim. Sources. A number of sources. Yeah, is that amuse you at all? No, no, no, that's a cue for the car guy, the car guy laugh. Thank you. So hard to train him, you know. That's why we, that's the only reason I get the paper. And Academy Award winning composer Bert Backrack's Malibu home is on the market of 3.5. Didn't he, am I 3.5 million? Backrack decided to sell the home which is owned for the past four years because he recently got remarried and wants to move on with his life says who Jim. Sources say. Backrack was previously married. Yeah. To Angie Dickinson. I knew, I mean, you know, sometimes you dream these things, sometimes you dream that Bert Backrack was married to Angie Dickinson, sometimes they actually go ahead and do it. A home enthusiast.
Backrack owns Soul of the Matter, a leading contender in this year's Kentucky Derby. That seems a horse enthusiast, I'm sorry. I thought that was bad writing. On the beach side of Malibu, Backrack's Cape Cod style home has three bedrooms and nearly 4,000 square feet with orchards and flower gardens stretching over its 1.5 acre grounds to the water. Waldo Fernandez, Beverly Hills designer, described the home as country style with a veranda all around and a huge window seat in the living room. So, I guess, good house for fat people. See, here was my theory, ladies and gentlemen. I know I'm getting back to this now. I can't help it. God can't help it. My theory was that, you know, there's this outfit in Los Angeles called Ron Smith, celebrity lookalikes. And my theory was, you're ahead of me. OJ calls Ron Smith celebrity lookalikes. Get me an OJ lookalike. That's who's driving around the freeways. Everybody's watching that.
He can go anywhere. See, that was my theory. But then, I'm not a Heisman trophy winner. Let's get off this. We've been dwelling, you know, just wallowing. The, there are documents spilling forth from the Brown and Williamson tobacco company. This week, a huge new parcel of them became public on both national public radio and in the New York Times about the how early 1953 that tobacco companies knew that cigarettes caused cancer. And how long they tried to deal with the matter, the internal documents that detail all the towing and frowing of should we talk about this? Should we not talk about this? Should we set up a research council? Should it be a real research council? Should it be a PR deal? You know the answer to that. And, but buried in all of that. And I had a little time on my hands in my trailer this week. So I got to read some of this in detail.
And buried in the New York Times coverage of these documents from Brown and Williamson is just the most wonderful little nugget. Remember last week we talked about the State Department reclassifying what's going on in Rwanda as not genocide, not genocide, but not genocide. Because it was genocide we have to do something about it. This is almost as good. There's a report to Brown and Williamson about the fact that the cigarette smoking really is clearly linked to cancer, except that they don't want it on paper around the company. Well, they want the research on paper. They don't want the word cancer on paper around the tobacco company in the files, you see. So there's a code name for cancer at Brown and Williamson. Zephyr. So the documents all indicate that there is compelling evidence that cigarette smoking does cause Zephyr. It's in the paper.
So here's my, who ladies jump? Who has time on a Friday afternoon at 6 p.m. To go hand letter a sign and get to a freeway and stand on it? These are not real people. These are extras in somebody's movie. But, you know, as disturbing as it was to see the crowds gather all along there. It just goes to prove that as Rwanda and Haraldo and all the three syllableed first-namers have proven on television for years, people really will do anything to be on TV. That was their only motive for getting out there. These unemployed people who had enough time to hand letter signs and get to the freeways at 6 o'clock on a Friday afternoon. Think of it. It's just, they just wanted to be on TV. They wanted to go there because they knew that they could go home and see tape of themselves later. It's all it is. And, you know, for me, the whole spectacle helped prove once again how fake most of television is
because, you know, a slow speed car chase, let's face it. You know, you wouldn't go, you wouldn't pay, forget $7, you wouldn't pay $4 to go to a movie that promised a slow speed car chase. Admit it. I mean, what's the name of this new movie? The his movie from Fox, Speed. What's the premise? The bus has to go more than 50 miles an hour. What if, you know, do you think the guy sat in Joe Roth's office and said, okay, here's the premise. The bus can't go faster than 30 miles an hour. It blows up. How fast does he kick out of that office? Okay, you see what I'm saying? So it's not that. It's just that it was so damn real. And the rest of TV is so damn fake that just the utter, undeniable reality of it. The utter, un-undurably unending reality of it was what hypnotized people. That's my, you know, that's my theory. But what do I know? I didn't even think up bowling with chickens. Anyway, the most, for me, mesmerizing part
of the whole thing was the phone calls. I don't know if you heard this around the country, but here in Los Angeles on the news stations. Well, first of all, the news station, one of the news stations, demonstrated the kind of hubris really normally reserved for show business celebrities. Because here's what they said over and over again when the slow speed chase was in progress. We think there's a very good chance that O.J. might be listening to KNX News Radio right now. Yeah, right. He's not listening to, you know, the rap songs to get his juices flowing. He's listening to KNX News Radio. Why? He wants to know what the weather's gonna be tomorrow? What are you talking about? Anyway, the premise was, Casey's listening, all these people called up to try to talk him into stopping the white Bronco on the side of the road. Yeah, his ex-coach from USC and all sorts of people
calling up that they put these calls on the air. Now, the fact of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen, that they had some calls that they taped, that because the chase ended too soon, they weren't able to use. So I don't know if this is gonna make any news, but those calls follow. Hello, O.J., I'm not used to this kind of one-way communication with people. It's as much easier when I can get some input that this is Dr. David Viskwick. I know you've been seeing some very reputable people and no, I have not ever met you personally, but I had to call to see if maybe some common sense can break through that thick scull of yours before it's too late, of course. It may already be too late, I don't know. You tell me. Except, of course, you can't. I can accept that for now, but, yeah, O.J., what I really like to do,
is to pull over near a call box on the freeway. I don't want you to use the cell phone because if you now know it's not really private, and I want to talk with you. There are a lot of issues here, and I don't think you've even been gunned to think them through, have you? And the answer is, of course, no, Dr. Viskwick, I have not. Okay, I can deal with that. You're angry, and you're hurt, aren't you, O.J.? But, you know what you're really doing right now? You are obsessing about yourself. What about the other person or persons in that car? Have you really listened to what they might need right now? I don't think so. You don't want to watch it through, O.J.? I want you to ask whoever's in the car with you right now. Who's it? How? I want you to say, ow, ow. What do you need out of this situation? And to listen, really listen, you can turn off the radio for a couple of minutes, to listen to what he says.
Do you think you can do that? And then when you get to the freeway call box, just ring me at 100 shrinkage. I'll wave the pages to ask for me personally, because you know what? Despite everything. I really like you. Okay? Thank you so much. O.J., this is John Rivers. We met. I know we met at last. It's real bonds dinner at the Beverly Hills. I was wearing the cream thing by Donna Karen. I could kill myself for even owning a smarto like that. But listen, O.J., we all know laws. I just lost my home shopping show, which I gave up my talk show to do. So how do you think I'd feel? And my god, the whole edgithing, so yes, we all know laws. But wait, it's what we do with it, the counts. So yes, I fell awful after it could die. I turned it into a TV movie, and I played the role of me.
You see what I'm saying? Not that you should necessarily star in the movie. But on the other hand, you were a very good-looking African-American man. And I know I'm rambling. That's why I called collect. So seriously, honey, please do what's right. I want so very much to see it. At next year's this real bond dinner, you will not believe what I'm wearing to it. Okay? Take care. Hello, O.J., I'm Paul Harvey. Orange Paul grew up in a puff of neighborhood. South of San Francisco's downtown, spending his teen years leading a gang, stealing slabs of beef from a butcher's warehouse. Do you know the story, O.J.? The athletic ability, the sparkling pokery, or onto broadcasting in movies. O.J., my own son, Paul Jr., gave up a promising career as a concert pianist to write the rest of the story stories on another network. He wrote a beautiful one about orange Paul.
The man we now know is orange Paul James Simpson. O.J., I'd hate to have to make him rewrite it. When I'm saying in my own small way, O.J. is in the wonderful saga of orange Paul. Don't make us change the rest of the story. O.J., good day. Well, mama, she had complications. There's nothing very strange about that.
No, I said, we can't kill that baby. We'll have to let your mother die. We are all just a lilies of the valley. We need a greatness. We need to get our hands up a little bit. Let's make our gardens grow. Way too many people on this island. Getting way too crowded on this boat. It means I'm going to bail some water.
We're going to keep this thing afloat. I got a little sugar in my cup. I don't need sweet enough. Get on and watch you walk until you find it. I believe you are telling me so. I need a little water in my garden. I need a little sunlight on my head. I need some undercover me with kisses.
When I'm all alone and scared. We are all just a lilies of the valley. We need a greatness. We need to get our hands up a little bit. Let's make our gardens grow. Way too many people on this island. Get on and watch you walk until you find it. I believe you are telling me so. Let's make our gardens grow. Let's make our gardens grow.
Way too many people on this island. Let's make our gardens grow. Way too many people on this island. Way too many people on this island. We need to make our gardens grow. Let's make our gardens grow. Let's make our gardens grow. Let's make our gardens grow. Here's a show that summer is right around the corner. You are well advised to minimize exposure to the sun and if you have to have some exposure be sure to wear a sunscreen to reduce your chances of skinzepher. In the, I told you so file, from advertising age, soccer's empty cup, oh I'll read for you.
I was just gloating over it for a minute. When organizers wrote the charter for the 1994 World Cup, the stated goal was to stage the biggest World Cup tournament in history and have a lasting legacy of soccer in the U.S. It appears those organizers are going to be disappointed. It's a bust in the U.S. at the president of a New York sports marketing company. Stop five people in the street and ask them who the sponsors are. They won't know. Ask them what TV network they can watch the World Cup on. Ask them who the teams are. They don't know. As the tournament begins, there's mounting evidence World Cup 94 won't live up to the organizers' expectations. For the first time in the World Cup's 64-year history, organizers have agreed to swallow surplus tickets that sponsors teams and tour operators are unable to distribute. It's not literally swallow, but you know what I mean?
Many sponsors who paid as much as $25 million for global marketing rights say they're frustrated by the United States' unenthusiastic response to the event. Mastercard International for one is slashed its $15 million World Cup U.S. ad budget in half. They're mastering half the possibilities. Audio rev, get revved up about something that doesn't exist in consumers' minds. Said one Mastercard executive. Efforts to launch pro Major League Soccer in the U.S. next year are also off to a torpid start. Many of the city's pitching franchises have been unable to meet organizers' demand to sell 10,000 season tickets in advance. And a number of marketers that have been approached about sponsorship opportunities have scoffed at the near $10 million asking price.
By the way, LA has just been awarded a soccer franchise, congratulations. And a Chicago in New York too, right? Many thought World Cup fever would have gripped the mass market by now. It hasn't, despite the best efforts of sponsors and organizers to hype the event. World Cup? Is there a World Cup going to happen? I haven't heard one person in Los Angeles talk about World Cup, and this is where the finals are going to be said one LA-based executive for a leading sports cable network? Canon USA is said to have 1,000 tickets, which it's hard pressed to get rid of, including several dozen to the LA final. The reason?
Software is a bad time to entertain corporate clients, and those who do want to be entertained don't want to go to a soccer game. It's hard to care about people not caring about soccer when there are more phone calls that would have been broadcast to OJ had the chase lasted longer, just waiting to be played here, so as I tell you I've finished reading the trades for you. We can talk about all that stuff you want to talk about, you know, Wimbledon, baseball,
whatever. I just want you to know too that everybody at NBC Sports at least, I know I can't speak for the rest of the corporation, but here at NBC Sports we love you very much. And I guess I finally, I just say I can understand if you're confused right now and can't think clearly about yourself and what you need, maybe it'll help you to think for a minute about all the hardworking people here who's at the station, really don't need to be selling by this. You know, our basketball ratings were dropping like a debt, like a great, you know, and the fact that you chose to do this on a game night is really hurting us. So from Marv and Dick Annberg, and my causes, and maybe even for me, please, to stop the car.
You have so much to live for, it's only two and a half weeks until, and if there are five grocery stores, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, listen to me, this is Howard, Howard Stern, you schmuck, it came on my show when I was at NBC, okay, this, I'm too busy being accused of that double murdered, remember some radio guy stuff, okay, listen, okay, you're being a prox, you like this, you like this, you like this, you like this, you like this kid, I went to high school with, he used to beat me up all the time, okay, you're not really. I just like to bring that up, there's an OJ, let's get serious, you don't want to snuff before I get my new show on E, another sounds cold, but you know, deep down, I'm telling the truth, listen, OJ, pull over this stupid car, all right, papa boy, set you up with Howard Stern, 15 minutes down, the high security cell with you, you can do whatever you like
to her, I can tell you personally, she digs the bank, I mean, she really digs it, so they can pop off the panties, whatever you want, OJ, you're a big celebrity, you're probably doing weird stuff for you than she did for me, but that's just because of the freaking CFC, hey we listening, I gotta go, you being stupid, I mean Rodney King was beaten for less than you're doing right now, the only reason I haven't turned your head is the frigging claim of wait is because too many white people know who you are, so don't get the big head OJ, listen to Howard, all right, very good. We're going to play and heartfully, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
CFC, Thorough, Cammst clean, 30 sirt years ago, and I'm the one that knows, if I say Furian Love Song, solid, tough, much solid melodies, it's less than Courtey Love Song, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I want you right across the song, telling off this wrong susat of my heart
Oh, yeah, there is nothing more, something's at the fore, shell of it, my cherry, the lady love means six and so and so And I'm not on the one who knows It's the same, country loves all It's the same, it's the same, country loves all Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh She'll dead Dead
Yeah Dead Oh, oh, oh She'll dead It's fun to work, it's just fun to melodies It's the same, got to love song Oh, oh, it's the same, got to love song It's fun to work, it's just fun to melodies It's the same, got to love song Oh, oh, it's the same, got to love song It's fun to work, it's just fun to melodies It's the same, got to love song
Oh, oh, it's the same, got to love song It's fun to work, it's just fun to melodies It's the same, got to love song Okay, let's try to think about something else, shall we? From Broadcasting and Cable Magazine You still have some trades music here Interesting insights into the programming practices of some top cable networks as part of the cable industry's anti-violence effort The cable industry has released the programmers, standards, and practices statements The family channel has a clause that states, quote, The suggestion of sexual promiscuity and or abortion as a birth control device or as a matter of personal convenience shall not be glamorized nor characterized as acceptable behavior Family channel
owned by Pat Robertson along with ice cupades So I guess they won't do that on ice either The entertainment television standard state E is a place where celebrities feel at home among professionals in the industry Therefore at E, celebrities are not approached for autographs, photographs, personal project pitches or their personal inquiries And Lifetime Network for Gals I'm trying to broaden the acceptable language here again It's been so narrowed in recent years Last week you may remember I said fat chicks this week I'm saying gals The network that aims itself at women includes a clause on hypnosis, quote, To avoid adverse effects upon viewing audience hypnosis should not be presented in a purposeful demonstration with extended technique hypnosis should not be ridiculed or presented as a game to be played Just keep staring at the dial ladies and gentlemen Okay, there were other things that went on this week Actually this was a pretty good week
Senator Alphonse de Mato who was a known jockly in Washington circles these days as the Fonds has been the leader in the Republican attack on the white water issue particularly on Hillary Clinton's spectacular success in the commodities market You know that what is it? $1,000 that she turned into $100,000 faster than you can say Alphonse de Mato Well, look what Alphonse de Mato has been doing or look what he did one day A single day last June made a $37,000 profit on a stock that he bought and sold later the same day stocking a small California company called Computer Marketplace The senator said today his broker at the firm the brokerage firm had bought $4,500 shares at $4 a share so later that same day at $12,25 a share stock is now at $3
Stocks, the stock was unavailable to ordinary investors You know see the odd thing is I think of Al D'Amato as utterly ordinary but that's me This is me too Again, on the subject of read if you can't do anything about genocide just recenter the scale Tired of watching its members portrayed as patient gouging money machines The American Medical Association is changing the way it calculates doctors' median incomes The association which last year stopped issuing annual press releases about the average income of doctors Decided this week that in the future it would lump the salaries of private practitioners the money, patient gouging money machines with those of federal government doctors and young doctors and training who may considerably less Dr. Nancy Dickey, the association secretary treasure One who asked to answer reporters' questions said that historically Like the American Medical Association is part of history now
When the group released its annual calculations of doctors' incomes the press leaves out the footnotes explaining which doctors are included and excluded Therefore, our only choice is to make a change so the numbers show the whole picture said Dr. Dickey Now the physician looks less like he's gouging America You know what, if they included the incomes of dead doctors it would look even better Don't you think Dr. Dickey?
