L.A. COLUMNIST SAYS NBC SHOULD RETHINK ALBERT POLICY

          Marv Albert, whose story is "getting tremendous media
     attention," has "embarrassed NBC, there is little question
     about that," according to Larry Stewart of the L.A. TIMES. 
     Stewart: "Face saving action is needed, and soon. ...
     [L]oyalty to a longtime employee is admirable.  But for Dick
     Ebersol, the president of NBC Sports, to pretend it is
     business as usual is a mistake.  Maybe accusations by the
     woman that she was bitten on her back as many as 15 times
     and forcibly sodomized by Albert don't require action by
     NBC.  Maybe the DNA evidence, by itself, isn't enough,
     either.  Maybe for Albert to have his name in the little
     black book of slain dominatrix, Mistress Hilda, doesn't
     require action. ... But it all adds up to one ugly mess.  A
     suspension, with pay, would not seem to be out of line until
     the law has taken its course" (L.A. TIMES, 8/15).
