Get the Courts Back on Camera

Date: 26 May 1992

After closing the courthouses to video cameras for a year, New York State's legislature is moving to let them back in. The bill now gathering support in Albany isn't perfect but it would at least reopen the civil and criminal courts to the light that cameras uniquely provide. Courts in all but half a dozen states now allow cameras -- including television cameras that record the proceedings for later use on the evening news or cable channels. Helped by wise supervision and today's quiet cameras, courts have overcome the fear of photography born in the boisterous era of the Lindbergh kidnapping trial.

A Convention in Search of a Theme

James Barron

Three little words that television viewers watching the Democratic National Convention in July will not see behind Gov. Bill Clinton when the delegates' votes have been counted and the balloons have cascaded from the rafters -- assuming, as the staff planning the convention does, that he wins the nomination -- are "we the people." The backdrop behind the podium, perhaps the most valuable square footage inside Madison Square Garden in terms of capturing television viewers' attention, is being changed. To what, the Democrats have not decided.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Undeclared Candidate; Perot Stresses Homey Image, But the Image Is No Accident

Date: 26 May 1992

By Michael Kelly

Michael Kelly

When Ross Perot talks of himself and his current position, he likes to conjure a picture of "a happy accident," an innocent abroad in the wilds and wiles of media-land. "I don't have a handler," he says with pride. "I don't have anyone who tells me what kind of suit to wear, what kind of tie to wear. I don't have any powder on my face." He boasts of his unsuitability for television politics, poking fun at his Texas country-boy accent, his big, beaten nose, the great out-sticking ears that frame his face like cartilaginous quotation marks. He generally ends his litany of curiously likable flaws with the same shrugging summary. "What you see," he says, "is what you get." Spinning Out a Hero This is true, but it is also true that what you see of Mr. Perot is by his own careful design. He is a master salesman, and for 25 years, he has done much of his selling -- of causes, business ventures, ultimately of himself -- through the press. The history of his dealings suggests Mr. Perot understands the ways of news organizations considerably better than they understand the ways of Mr. Perot.
