MEDIA NOTES

          The NBA's legal dispute against Motorola and AOL over
     real-time scoring is analyzed by James Leadbetter in the
     VILLAGE VOICE.  Leadbetter concludes that "it's hard to
     believe that the NBA will prevail at the final buzzer" as
     Federal Judge Loretta Preska "clearly rejected the NBA's
     claim that it holds a copyright on the score" (VILLAGE
     VOICE, 1/21)....In Toronto, Rob Longley notes Fox's "much-
     maligned glowing blue hockey puck is improved ... [but] It
     still sucks" (TORONTO SUN, 1/20).....CBS' "60 Minutes"
     profiled News Corp. Chair Rupert Murdoch.  Andrew Neil,
     former editor of Murdoch's London Sunday Times, comparing
     Murdoch to Ted Turner: "Rupert's far more formidable. Ted
     Turner walks a fine edge between genius and madness. 
     There's nothing mad about Rupert.  I'd put my money on
     Rupert any day against Ted" (CBS, 1/19).
