Developer Suing NBC Over a News Program
Date: 10 April 1991
A New Jersey real-estate developer has sued NBC, contending that it erroneously identified him as the leader of a Vietnamese street gang in New York on a television news program last year. The lawsuit for $31 million in damages, which was filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, states that on Nov. 16 NBC's New York City affiliate, WNBC-TV, identified the developer, Philip Chong, as David Thai, the leader of the gang with "a price on his head." The station retracted its assertion on its evening news program on Dec. 14. As quoted in the lawsuit, the retraction said: "This man is in fact Philip Chong. He is a legitimate businessman in New York. We regret the error, and our sincerest apologies to Mr. Chong."

As newspapers tighten their belts, they are sending only 510 people to the meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, which opened today. Last year nearly 1,000 attended.

Tuning Out Network Bias

In 1989, during a panel discussion at the Bumbershoot Arts Festival in Seattle, I expressed dismay at television's relentlessly negative news coverage of African Americans and Hispanic Americans. Half-seriously, I suggested that a boycott of prime-time network news might be in order. I was shocked by the sustained applause that greeted this remark from an audience that was predominantly white. Now, I and my colleagues at PEN Oakland, a branch of the international writers group that fights censorship, and writers in 13 cities are boycotting prime-time network news for the month of April. These programs are the chief source of information that Americans receive about the world. More often than not, they associate black and Hispanic people exclusively with drugs, crime, unwed parenthood, welfare, homelessness, child abuse and rape, although the majority of the people involved in these circumstances are white.

"Rabbit at Rest," John Updike's conclusion to a quartet of novels that portrayed the psychic ups and downs of America through the life of a small-town car salesman, and "Lost in Yonkers," Neil Simon's play about the relationship of two teen-agers and their iron-willed grandmother, won 1991 Pulitzer Prizes yesterday.

Winners of the 1991 Pulitzer Prizes in the Arts and Journalism

Biography Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith "Jackson Pollock: An American Saga" Crammed with anecdotes and details, Steven Naifeh's and Gregory White Smith's biography of Jackson Pollock provoked an uproar in the art world with its contention that the artist was ambiguous about his sexual identity, that he was neurotically dependent on his mother's presence and that he drew inspiration for some of his famous "drip" paintings by observing in childhood the patterns made by his father's urination on a flat stone. Mr. Naifeh, 38 years old, a native of Tulsa, Okla., and Mr. Smith, 39, a native of Columbus, Ohio, both graduated from Harvard Law School in 1977. After working in the legal profession they returned to Harvard, where Mr. Naifeh earned a master's degree in art history at the Fogg Art Museum and Mr. Smith, a master's degree in education. They both live in Aiken, S.C. General Nonfiction Bert Holldobler and Edward O. Wilson "The Ants"

OF course ballplayers make too much money. Of course owners make too much money. And of course you and I don't make enough. A large majority of Americans emphasized this, according to the reading here of The New York Times/CBS News Poll released yesterday on a wide variety of subjects relating to baseball. Seventy-one percent of those surveyed said ballplayers are filthy rich, and 56 percent said the owners are. Neither of these points should come as a big shock.

If you're convinced that, say, Dwight Gooden is worth every penny of the $1,850 or so he will make for every pitch he throws next season, or that Jose Canseco deserves the $5,000 he earns every time he bats, boy, do you have an argument on your hands. By a substantial margin, Americans apparently believe that baseball players are paid too much, although most people don't seem to hold it against the players, in part perhaps because a majority also believes baseball owners make too much, too.
