Connecticut Q&A;: Al Terzi;
A Generation of Serving Up the News
Date: 02 April 1995
By James Lomuscio

WHEN Al Terzi is referred to as Connecticut's dean of broadcast journalism, he is more humbled than exuberant. "I've heard that, not widely, and I guess it's just because out of all the anchors I'm the one here who's been doing it the longest," said Mr. Terzi.
Indeed, there are viewers who remember him from 1968, when he first became a radio and television announcer in Hartford. Many more remember him from a nearly 14-year tenure, until 1993, in the anchor seat at WTNH-TV, Channel 8, in New Haven. And now there are viewers who are just getting to know him, since he resumed anchoring the afternoon and evening news at WFSB-TV, Channel 3, in Hartford in December. (His Channel 8 contract had prohibited him from appearing on a competing news station for a time.)

SIRENS BLEAT, BODIES float, suspects cringe, victims weep. Celebrities preen and promote. Anchors chat and emote. It's local news time: normally 30 minutes of hell and blather, ads and promos, weather and sports, starting at 9, 10 or 11 -- local television's most profitable time of night and its most disheartening use of the air. There are exceptions, of course, here and there, one night or another. But in most of America, whatever channel you watch, the late news is obsessed with crime and disaster, encouraging fear or smug comfort, or both. It assails the mind but offers nothing much to think about -- not even about crime, war and disaster. No helpful assessments of the police or local hospital. Almost nothing about education except some school shooting. Nothing about housing except some landlord's venality. Nothing about traffic except some flaming collision. Much less anything reflective about politics, economics, foreign affairs.

Kenya Acts to Curb Its Opponents and Press
Date: 03 April 1995

Recent actions by Kenya's Government have been perceived by Western diplomats as the most serious crackdown on the opposition and the press since multiparty elections in 1992. In the last month, President Daniel arap Moi has ordered the arrest of anyone who insulted him and he declared that a guerrilla movement was poised to invade from neighboring Uganda. At the same time, the governing party's newspaper has published reports about the February 18th Movement, described as a Communist rebel group led by an exile named John Odongo. The Government has also accused the opposition of colluding with the rebels.

Bloomberg News
In an effort to cut its dependence on chips from the Intel Corporation, the Compaq Computer Corporation is planning to use processors from closely held Nexgen Inc. in future personal computers. Compaq, which holds an equity stake in Nexgen, based in Milpitas, Calif., said last week that it had reached an agreement to use the chip maker's high-performance Pentium-class processors in Compaq machines that would be available in the next year. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Corrections
Date: 02 April 1995
Because of editing and production errors, an article last Sunday about a New York Times/CBS News poll on the ways Americans save for retirement misstated some findings. Fifty-three percent of those asked, not 40 percent, said they expect company pensions or Social Security to be the major source of their retirement income. Three-fourths of those with investments, not two-thirds, said they rarely buy or sell their stocks or shift money between mutual funds. Sixty percent said they found it hard to keep up with their bills, not that they were never out of debt. People earning $50,000 a year or more are most likely to have savings; they do not constitute a majority of those with savings.

'Dateline NBC' Stands Tall in Ratings While Rival News Magazines Slump
Date: 03 April 1995
By Bill Carter
Bill Carter
NBC gave a party last week to celebrate the third anniversary of its news magazine, "Dateline NBC," partly to show off an elaborate new $1 million set, and partly just to revel in the fact that the program is still around. "Dateline," after all, is the program that almost brought down NBC News two years ago when it was forced to admit that it had faked explosions in a report on truck safety. That scandal led to an extraordinary on-air apology, the dismissal of the program's executive producer and two other producers, and the resignation of the president of the news division, Michael G. Gartner.

Tale of a Two-Headed Trout, Fly-Fishing and Baseball
Date: 02 April 1995
By Peter Kaminsky
Peter Kaminsky
In the observation of a half-century tradition, New York fly-fisherfolk gathered Friday night near the Junction Pool of the Beaverkill for the annual Two-Headed Trout dinner. Begun in the 1940's by the former New York Timesman Red Smith, the original group of diners included fly-fishing pioneer Lee Wulff and A. J. McClane, who was perhaps the greatest American angling author of all time -- if you don't count Ernest Hemingway. Over the years the dinner party grew, taking over all of the tables in the Antrim Inn, a wonderful Catskills roadhouse that went out of business a few years ago. The party and the trout have since moved to the nearby Rockland House and yes, the trout does have two heads, but savvy anglers have long suspected a taxidermist's subterfuge.
