The body's not even cold yet... (Oct 31 2004 04:57 GMT) - Jacques Steinberg writes in the New York Times that while the last month of NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw's career might be a celebration and a big moment for the incoming Brian Williams, it's a chance for the other network news shows to grab some viewers. That transition is expected to touch off a period of anchor shopping among some of the nearly 25 million viewers who still watch the evening news on the broadcast networks each night. But will it really? Dan Rather and CBS News are having their troubles, and may not be the first choice for viewers who are "shifting" - but can Peter Jennings and ABC Nightly News make some waves? Or will viewers stand pat and stick with Williams? |

Buenos días, Sócrates (Oct 31 2004 04:52 GMT) - Hace un ratito terminé un libro que compré hará una semana, lo que para mi es algo inaudito en este último año. Se trata de Buenos días, Sócrates (Reflexiones de un filósofo sin estudios), de Juan Carlos Ortega. A Ortega lo conocí radiofónicamente en las tardes de Julia Otero, con los sketchs en los que hacía todos los personajes, y luego resulta que hemos coincidido en alguna que otra asociación. Desgraciadamente, no lo sigo en Crónicas marcianas. El libro es fácil lectura y está dirigido al público general. |
