THE WEEK, Page 21SOCIETYEt Cetera
G-MEN OF COLOR
Under J. Edgar Hoover, FBI agents often served as shock
troops in the fight against civil rights. Last week the bureau
announced a plan to end what 300 of its black agents had charged
was lingering bias in the way promotions and fast-track
assignments are made. The new rules avert a threatened lawsuit.
BAD GRADE
Channel One, a classroom newscast produced by Whittle
Communications, has drawn fire for mixing commercials with
current events. A Whittle-funded study has found that with or
without ads, the show isn't having much impact. Students who
watch the newscast score little better on current-events tests
than do nonwatchers.
