EDITORIAL The Sleuthsayer
"TV is like POKER," TV Guide's fall season preview just chipped in.
"NBC is on a winning streak, while CBS is ready to gamble, and ABC is determined
to recoup its losses. Now comes the exciting part—when everybody has to

recently came out with its eleventh volume of 'Ingenudes.'" And, continuing
to deal with that poker analogy, this 11th "Tele•Visions" follows

"If further proof is needed that we're living in the too-much-information
age," Allure concluded, "there's always the plethora of photos of naked
