TELEVISION;What a Difference a Do Makes

I'M NOT CUTTING THE HAIR!" shrieks Michelle Pfeiffer, a novice television news hound with an unfortunate propensity for mall-girl tresses, to Robert Redford, a seasoned pro determined to haul her off for a makeover, in the recent tear-jerker "Up Close and Personal." Of course, she chops off her hair. For a novice from a Reno trailer park who has faked her resume, a few snips of the scissors and a hit of Clairol are but a small sacrifice to snag a job as a reporter at a top Miami station. The film, which isn't very illuminating about what's needed to succeed on the air (raw ambition, a face that "eats the lens" and a voice "full of money" help) is a veritable handbook of broadcast-news hairdos. Not surprising, some television consultants and reporters dismissed Ms. Pfeiffer's dizzying metamorphosis as more Hollywood make-believe than reality.

The Most Polite Pit Bull in Local Politics

IT is difficult, but important, to describe the devastating finality with which Betty Cooper Wallerstein says goodbye. The tone is understated but unmistakable; friendly but nonnegotiable; sing-song, yet flat. Absent are the usual conventions of winding down a conversation: well, it's been nice talking to you; I guess that's about it; hope to see you soon.

News Analysis;Death Penalty Test

Early Friday morning, Jeanine F. Pirro, the Westchester County District Attorney, faced television cameras huddled on an Eastchester street where a police officer had been killed, and passionately reaffirmed her commitment to death penalty prosecutions. If the gunman, Richard Sacchi, had not committed suicide, Ms. Pirro would likely have been swift to consider him a candidate for capital punishment. Her position was in potent contrast to that taken by the District Attorney in a neighboring county, Robert T. Johnson of the Bronx, who has repeatedly expressed severe misgivings on the same subject, prompting Gov. George E. Pataki last Thursday to remove him from the prosecution of suspects in the shooting death of Officer Kevin Gillespie.

His one-year contract as publisher at both community weeklies was up last fall. Since then his presence has been by loose agreement.
