In a broadcast that may have set a new standard for tastelessness, the syndicated tabloid television program "A Current Affair" interviewed Gennifer Flowers last week about the affair she says she had with Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas. In the interview Ms. Flowers was asked to rate the Presidential candidate as a lover on a scale of one to ten, which she earnestly did. Then, to close the show, Ms. Flowers, a sometime nightclub singer, warbled "Stand By Your Man," the Tammy Wynette song Mr. Clinton's wife, Hillary, slighted when she defended her husband on "60 Minutes."

Although numerous publications have been battered by the recession, Michael Schenkler remains convinced he can make money by expanding in the free-distribution newspaper business in the New York area. Mr. Schenkler, president of News Communications Inc., says his small company's four free newspapers -- The Manhattan Spirit, Our Town and The Queens Tribune in New York City and Dan's Papers on eastern Long Island -- are profitable, with a total circulation of about 425,000 copies a week. And he is so certain that he has found the formula for success that he is aggressively seeking to buy other, similar publications.

Wary that plotters of an unsuccessful coup may be depicted as heroes, the Government has stationed censors in newsrooms and confiscated stacks of magazines in some of the strictest press controls imposed since the advent of civilian rule in 1958. President Carlos Andres Perez contends that the restrictions, adopted after the failed military putsch last Tuesday, are a temporary step to calm the public.

The Photo Op: Making Icons or Playing Politics?

The scene comes out of the best tradition of American barnstorming politics, as practiced in the media age. Patrick J. Buchanan, the conservative television commentator and maverick candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination in the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 18, is in the middle of a daylong campaign blitz along the western edge of the state. By late morning the candidate has made his way to Butson's supermarket in Woodsville. Trailed by a ramshackle army of campaign aides and media people, microphone booms raised like halberds, he enters the store in search of votes. Halfway down the first aisle he accepts a slice of pizza from a young woman handing out samples. As he begins to munch, photographers and television crews jostle for position in front of him, TV lights blazing and photographic strobes flashing. After a moment, Mr. Buchanan heads down another aisle and buys a ticket for the New Hampshire lottery. Again, photographers and television crews cluster eagerly, as he holds up the ticket and half-eaten slice of pizza.

Review/Music; A Bill McClelland Melange

Is it possible to translate gory local news events into semi-classical music that doesn't seem pallid beside its subject? That was the challenge posed by "The Ballad of Don and Dan," the most interesting piece to be presented in a showcase of music by a New Jersey-based composer, Bill McClelland, on Monday evening at Dance Theater Workshop. With a text adapted by Ian Frazier from news items describing a bizarre murder in Montana in the mid-1980's, "The Ballad of Don and Dan" is scored for a rock quartet and chorus and structured around the repeated lines "It was an idea, a man had an idea." That dry commentary, especially the word "idea," seemed to catch in the throats of the 16-member Vassar College Madrigal Singers, led by William Appling, which delivered an otherwise smooth performance of the piece.
