Andrew Heyward, president of CBS News, had a hatful of announcements yesterday -- about political convention coverage, new assignments for producers and correspondents, and even the theme music for the new CBS morning show, written and sung by Carly Simon. Perhaps nothing made him happier, though, than announcing that CBS News had earned 19 nominations for 1995 News and Documentary Emmy awards. The 126 nominations, announced in New York by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, were culled from 1,288 entries, the most ever, said John Cannon, the academy's president.

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK;New and Familiar Faces In News Channel Debut

Date: 23 July 1996

Surfing through the debut week of MSNBC, the new cable news channel ("The Revolution Begins Here"), I noticed no revolution, but found a potential rival to CNN, with special attention to the Internet generation. This 24-hour-a-day collaboration between NBC News and Microsoft invites E-mail questions to add to the call-in questions, the interviewers' questions and the panelists' comments that keep talk television babbling along. Thousands of Web residents are hastening to put in their two bytes' worth, but CNN has its own Internet address (as well as a much bigger audience), and old-fashioned computer-challenged viewers couldn't care less one way or the other. Switching on during the day, viewers may not immediately recognize whether they are patronizing CNN or MSNBC, the headlines, the chat and even some of the commercials being pretty much the same. The new service benefits from fresh faces at the anchor desks along with "the people you know," NBC News familiars like Gwen Ifill. The production is a dash more elaborate than CNN's; the reporting can be overemphatic; the panelists seem smarter, but that could change as they sink into their roles.

In this summer's hit movie here, three working women from a poor Cairo neighborhood fret about their meager choice of marriageable louts.

When suitor after suitor flees, her friends convince her that some restorative surgery will fool all future mates.
