2 9 49 Movie-Drama
"The Preppie Murder" - an unsettling account of a sensational crime story. In 1986, Jennifer Levin, an 18-year-old New Yorker from a well-to-do family, was slain in Central Park. Within hours, police picked up a suspect: Robert Chambers, a 19-year-old prep-school graduate who had been Levin's lover. Under interrogation, Chambers confessed to the slaying, but claimed that he accidentally killed the young woman when she hurt him during an episode of so called "rough sex." This 1989 TV-movie establishes the case against Chambers [played by William Baldwin] primarily from the viewpoint of Det. Mike Sheehan [Danny Aiello], who helped lead the investigation. But as the drama moves into the courtroom, the case for Chambers is aggressively presented by his lawyer, Jack Litman [William Devane], who plants doubts in the jurors' minds about the character of the victim. Lt. Doyle is played by the real Mike Sheehan. Linda Fairstein: Joanna Kerns.
4 27 Saturday Night Live 15th Anniversary
A birthday bash for the brash, irreverent series that says its original and current executive producer, Lorne Michaels, was no overnight success. "No one is more surprised than I am that we're on 15 years later," he says. "When I came to New York, I didn't give up my apartment in Los Angeles until midway into the 2nd season." Tonight, past and present cast members, joined by some of the 200 celebrities who've served as hosts, look back at some highlights. About half the show, Michaels says, celebrates in clips such memorable characters as the Loopners [Bill Murray, Gilda Radner]; Mr. Robinson [Eddie Murphy]; those "wild and crazy" Czech Brothers [Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin]; Ed Grimley [Martin Short]; Hans and Franz [Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon]; the Pathological Liar [Jon Lovitz]; and the Coneheads [Aykroyd, Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin]. Tributes to John Belushi [by Aykroyd and Jim Belushi] and Radner [by Curtin and Newman] are also scheduled, as are appearances by Chevy Chase, Billy Crystal, Tom Hanks, Buck Henry, Mary Tyler Moore, Garrett Morris, Joe Piscopo and O.J. Simpson. And the scheduled musical guests tonight are Prince and Paul Simon.

6 Learning in America
"Where is Nicaragua?" a Texas high-school class is asked. One girl responds "isn't it in the Middle East somewhere, like Africa or something?"

One reason cited: textbooks whose content, says reporter Paul Solman, is sometimes determined by interest groups.

[danderson4411]

did the nbc stations cut away form bills oilers for cheifs chargers

 

[crainbebo]

I don't believe they cut away. The game ended and the KC Chiefs game began. I wonder if, like today with Fox, that was a national game. However, Denver Broncos and LA Rams were playing at the same time...Denver may have only been for Rocky Mountains and westward. Houston and Buffalo was a very high scoring game, with Buffalo winning 47-41. Chiefs would lose to the Chargers.
