BEAVIS and Butt-head probably couldn't find Sweden on a map. But to hear MTV tell it, the cable network's moronic duo are practically ambassadors for American popular culture abroad. The "Beavis & Butt-head" cartoon has spread the gospel of MTV to more than 260 million households in 70 countries. Now, though, the boys are being overshadowed by the likes of Heike Makatsch, a 24-year-old blonde who appears on Viva, a music-video channel in Germany owned by four major record companies. By featuring German acts like Ms. Makatsch and Tote Hosen over imports like Van Halen, Viva has built as big an audience as MTV in a fraction of the time.

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.

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.

ART/ARTIFACTS;The Nightly News In 12th-Century Garb
Date: 24 March 1996

IN THE MIDDLE AGES, MURDERS, wars and heroic feats were often documented in brilliant color and gory detail on enameled objects displayed in the churches of Europe. In some ways, they were the medieval equivalent of the nightly news. Many people learned of the assassination of Thomas a Becket, for instance, through the illustrated panels on enameled boxes that held the saint's relics. One of the earliest of these ark-shaped boxes, made in Limoges, France, a decade after his death in 1170, vividly depicts how Becket was murdered at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by two sword-wielding henchmen of Henry II. The horror of the scene is strangely muted by the gracefully choreographed movements of the assailants: hooded knights in short skirts are shown leaping to strike in a Romanesque dance of death.

World News Briefs;3 Are Killed in Gunfight At Mosque in Kashmir
Date: 25 March 1996
AP
A furious gun battle between troops and separatist guerrillas in Kashmir's holiest shrine today killed at least three people and raised fears of a widespread public uprising. Guerrillas have occupied the white marble, onion-domed mosque in Srinagar, the state's summer capital, for more than a year. But until now, security forces had avoided fighting in the ancient Hazratbal mosque, which holds a sacred relic that Muslims believe is a hair of the Prophet Mohammed.

Robert S. Trentlyon describes himself as just another casualty of downsizing by News Communications Inc., which bought The Westsider and The Chelsea-Clinton News from him in September 1994. His one-year contract as publisher at both community weeklies was up last fall. Since then his presence has been by loose agreement. Last week, the company told him it had "decided to cut costs, and I was a cost," Mr. Trentlyon said.
