Anatomy of a Joke
Date: 01 August 1993
By Garry Trudeau
Garry Trudeau
In the wake of last week's press "availabilities" of funnymen Dave Letterman, Jay Leno, Chevy Chase et al., there was much rim-shot critiquing, all of it missing the point.
The real jokes, the ones that count, occur not at press events but during those extraordinary little set pieces called monologues. Despite the popular conception of the monologue as edgy and unpredictable, it is actually as formal and structured as anything found in traditional kabuki. The stakes are too high for it to be otherwise. Even the ad-libs, rejoinders and recoveries are carefully scripted. While it may suit Leno's image to portray the "Tonight" show monologue as something that's banged out over late-night pizza with a few cronies, in fact each joke requires the concerted effort of a crack team of six highly disciplined comedy professionals. To illustrate how it works, let's follow an actual topical joke, told the night of Monday, July 26, as it makes its way through the pipeline.

Sports of The Times; Where Do George's Critics Live?

HAS anyone noticed that George Steinbrenner has not fired a pitching coach or banished anyone to Columbus for muffing a ground ball in a one-run game? Could it be that he is otherwise occupied tormenting New York politicians? Better it be Mario Cuomo than Gene Michael. Steinbrenner's critics haven't yet caught on that the Boss's stadium crusade is the nicest thing he has done for his baseball team in more than a decade. While the Boss postures to build a new house, like his long, late, distant relative, the Babe, Michael continues to refocus the team and Buck Showalter steers it deeper into the race. May this be the organization's delegation of work assignments until the end of the club's Yankee Stadium lease, in 2003.

A New Diplomacy of Lost Causes
Date: 01 August 1993
By Thomas L. Friedman

WATCHING the Clinton Administration as it grappled with Bosnia and the fighting in Lebanon last week, it was hard to escape the impression that a new form of American statesmanship had been created: the diplomacy of lost causes. This is a diplomatic art that they don't teach at the Foreign Service Academy. It's strictly on-the-job training. It requires a real skill at averting one's gaze from gruesome news footage; it requires a special knack for using body language to tell people in hopeless situations to surrender to reality, when words would be too brutal; and it requires perfecting that mournful gaze that says to inquiring reporters and historians: "I recommended doing more but the (fill in the blank: Pentagon, President, Congress, allies, public opinion) wouldn't let me."

Double Talk

I COVERED THE White House for a while under Reagan and Bush. And now I cover Ovitz and Katzenberg. It hasn't been an especially difficult transition. Each town hungers for the worst parts of the other. Hollywood's executives and movie stars, embarrassed about their frivolousness and lack of education, crave Washington's exaggerated seriousness, its aura of power, even its pretension and pomposity.

To Western eyes accustomed to MTV and other highly visual broadcasts, the presentation of news at NHK, Japan's semipublic broadcaster, has long seemed plodding and pedantic. The tempo, though, appears to be slowing, not picking up. .Jiro Hirano, who an

New York Politics: Polls Show Mayor Unscathed by Riot Report

While New York Mayor David N. Dinkins may have underestimated the severity of racial violence in Brooklyn during four days of unrest in August 1991, local politicians and pundits may have seriously overestimated the impact of the Mayor's mistakes on his political future. Mr. Dinkins, a Democrat who is being challenged in his bid for a second term by Rudolph W. Giuliani, the Republican-Liberal candidate, was widely thought to have suffered major political damage two weeks ago when a state report harshly criticized his handling of the disturbances in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.

At 10 A.M. Tuesday, Ken Schanzer, executive vice president of NBC Sports, Randy Falco, the president of broadcast and network operations, and I presented the International Olympic Committee with our bid for the television rights to the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Our bid: $456 million.
Twelve days earlier, Bob Wright, the president of NBC, and Jack Welch, the chairman of our parent company, General Electric, had approved our evaluation of why Atlanta was worth $55 milion more than what we paid for last year's Barcelona Summer Olympics. We had decided to bet it all on the first-round of bidding -- we expected multiple rounds.
