Abstract

Recounts last week's televising of the William Kennedy Smith rape trial in the Palm Beach County, Fla. courthouse, which attracted an audience to Cable News Network of nearly 3.2 million viewers, nine times the usual audience. Questions are arising about the appropriateness of televising this kind of trial, for this kind of alleged crime. Dignity, solemnity and monotony; Moving and effective testimony of Smith's accuser. INSET: Behind the blue dot, by C. Booth..
