Most nights now at 8:30, Bakir Radwan and his family sit in their bare cinder-block house in the Shati refugee camp watching a novelty that has begun to reach many living rooms here: Palestinian television news. The Radwans, who installed a new antenna several weeks ago, watch with mixed emotions. They are proud to see Palestinian television, originating from Gaza, after decades of only Israeli and Arab state broadcasts. But they also know that their news is filtered by the Palestinian Authority, which controls programming.

Human rights are in a "perilous state" under Palestinian self-rule, threatening the prospects for regional peace, the United States-based Human Rights Watch/Middle East said today. In a 50-page report, the monitoring group accused Yasir Arafat's police force in the Gaza Strip of arbitrarily rounding up political opponents and mistreating some of them. Press freedoms have also been violated, it said, and the Palestinian Authority, which administers self-rule, has failed in its first nine months to show "a commitment to installing a rule of law."

THE NATION: The Greatest O.J. Show on Earth; Searching for Thrills, the Cheaper the Better

IT is a caravan of wooden trailers and satellite trucks, of gawkers and gewgaw merchants, and it moves like a circus from one high-profile, high Neilsen-rating tragedy to another. It specializes in criminal trials and has already been through William Kennedy Smith, the Menendez Brothers and the Bobbitts. Its latest stop is downtown Los Angeles, for what has become, quite literally, the Greatest Show on Earth. Opinion polls show that the public is sick of People v. Orenthal James Simpson. But in the electronic village that has popped up outside the Hall of Justice, opposite the courthouse in which Mr. Simpson sits, and extending to the Hollywood Freeway, one can make a different diagnosis: the sicknesses at work here are an insatiable hunger for titillation and a terminal case of voyeurism.

The ratings stink, earnings are off, and a key executive is reportedly shopping for a new job. So what's with shares of CBS Inc., which have popped up 10.38 percent -- from $57.875 on Jan. 30 to $63.875 at Friday's close? CBS said on Wednesday that fourth-quarter revenues were down 18 percent on a year-over-year basis. That day, in a market in which even companies reporting good news suffered stock declines, CBS shares actually rose slightly, up 12.5 cents to $62.875.
