Whatever happens in the new Congressional era of Republican control, citizens will be able to witness more of it. Striving for a new aura of openness, the Republicans have agreed to allow television cameras into most committee meetings and daily press briefings with the House Speaker and the Senate majority leader. Both houses are still weighing whether to allow C-Span to operate its own cameras in the chambers and to allow those cameras free rein. Currently, cameras are operated by Government employees, who focus only on the person speaking and feed those shots to C-Span.

THE NEW GOVERNOR: Man in the News; A Pragmatic Conservative: George Elmer Pataki

Date: 02 January 1995

To the friends he met at Yale College 31 years ago, George E. Pataki was a garrulous, beer-loving freshman who knew precisely where he stood on the political spectrum (to the right), the name of the next President (Barry Goldwater) and what he would become when he grew up (governor of New York State). To the politicians he passed along the way to becoming the 53d governor of New York, Mr. Pataki was also a conservative, but often a pragmatic one. His central beliefs did not stop him from working with more moderate politicians or from moderating his own views on difficult issues to achieve his goals.

For anyone with a computer, modem and so-called browser software, the place to be in 1995 is the World Wide Web, a section of the Internet overflowing with sights and sounds.

Some of the hottest economies, and targets of foreign investment, emerged in once-overlooked markets of Southeast Asia and Latin America.

Cigarettes: Both Ends of the Issue

Date: 03 January 1995

By Walter Goodman

Walter Goodman

Remember the lineup of tobacco company executives before a Congressional committee last year, chorusing their assurances that nicotine is not an addictive drug and that their companies do not manipulate the amount that goes into their cigarettes? If not, you can see that comical display of corporationally correct thinking tonight on "Frontline." "The Nicotine War" adds little to news accounts of the campaign by David A. Kessler, head of the Food and Drug Administration, to demonstrate that the cigarette is a means of transmitting nicotine into the body and hooking smokers and hence belongs under his agency's regulatory aegis. But the program does a tidy job of packaging a dispute that, as the narrator notes, involves science, politics, jobs and public health.

The Buffalo Bills fired their defensive coordinator, WALT COREY, yesterday after a lackluster season in which the defense improved statistically, but failed to produce big plays. After four Super Bowls, the Bills finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 1987, the year Corey joined them.

Her first biggie was joining an "escort" service to work her way through Buffalo State College. The second was telling her boss, once she had been arrested, that the police planned to visit.
