MANY personal computers come equipped with CD-ROM drives and sound cards, and almost all can be fitted with them afterward. They open up many possibilities. More and more frequently, high-end software is supplied on disks instead of on a dozen or more floppies; games on CD's offer video sequences, and the devices can even play audio CD's with the proper software. The Macintosh here is running "Gershwin Plays Gershwin," a nice anachronism: piano-roll reproductions tinkling out of a double-speed AppleCD 300 reader and a pair of speakers. The software is also Apple's: CD Remote, which puts the image of a remote-control unit on the screen.

During a long trip abroad last month I kept reading, in local papers, Washington reports about President Clinton's "Whitewater crisis." When people asked me to explain what exactly it was, I could not. Now, after sifting through the news of recent weeks, I do see a crisis: an oncoming crisis of confidence in the press. For magazines, television and newspapers have taken stories that deserve modest attention and blown them up to hyperbolic proportions.
