Already, Medicare is living up to its reputation a5 a mallhet for political attacks.

Adams County students will begin by asking bas ic college level English Classes, for which the~ will receive both high school and college credit. If the program is successful, the program may be expanded to offer such classes as Shakespeare, Fundamentals or Oral Communication, and research classes: Toole hopes the program will expand enough to allow some Adams County students to take as many as half their classes through the lnteractive TV option.

By WILL LESTER Assoe~eted Press Writer FREDERICKSBURG, Va.Whether they get money back or have to write checks to the IRS, most Americans think the fe(jeral tax system is too com.plicated, according to an Associated Press poll. And the proportion who feel that way has grown significantly over the last three years to nearly two-thirds, the poll indicated. The Internal Revenue Service acknowledges that an array of new tax credits, deductions and other changes in the law has lengthened by several hours the time it takes to com· · plete an itemized return. In a poll conducted for the AP by ICR of Media, Pa., 66 percent said the ,federal tax·system is"tilo complicated, a~d 28 percent said it's not. Three y·ears ago, just under half in an AP poll said the tax system was too complicated. More than half those surveyed, 56 percent, now pay someone else to do their tax returns, while 40 .percent said they do thei{ taxes themselves, the poll indicated.

And something called TV. , . Both hwe major . roles in this bracing new comedy from director . Ron Howard .that probes the nature of fame. Ed,_ lovably played by Matthew McConaughey, is a 30-ish video-store clerk who consents to let a cable channel televise him live, around the clock. "All Ed, all the time" is the slogan for ratings-starved _True 1V, ' )llhose three-person video crew shadows Ed, broad.casting his life to an insatiable nation. · Swiftly, this redneck schmo who had Jived. obscurely with his family in San .Francisco has become a celebrity hailed from coast .to coast. " I don 't go to the batliroom until Ed goes to the bathroom,".decl.ares "one hoo'ked viewer, "because I don't want to miss anything." If "EDtv" sounds familiar, no wonder. It arrives as the third in· a video triptych· of films released to ·theaters in the past nine months, including last summer's "The Truman Show" and last fall 's ·: Pleasantville." On paper, "EDtv" appears quite similar to "The Truman Show," which suirred Jim Carrey as the hero · of his own ongoing telecast. But the ·differences are legion: Truman lived in a studio mocked up as his hometown. Everyone· around him w.as employed as his supporting players. And he knew none of this. ' 'The Truman Show" was a chillingly observed allegory, while "EDtv" is a lighthearted fable. And it's somethin·g ·else:' an unapologetic romance. ,Which brings us to the. film 's most delightful ingredient:.Ed's girl- Osgood. Then he smi_les .at its alltoo-many shortcomings. · "It would only work in blackand-white and took three bours to install. And if a plane flew overhead or a truck drove by, that would interfere not only with the picture, but with the (unscrambling) code, which would shut you down." Within a few_ months, Osgood ,was shut down, too. · Lucking into a job at ABC News in Manhattan, the man born Charles Osgood Wood dropped his surname (the network already hail a newsRlan named Charles Woods) and, on the air as Charles Osgood, spent four years reporting for ABC radio and TV. • In 1967, he took a job as reporter on the CBS-owned WCBS Newsradio 88. Then, one fateful weekend, he was summoned to fill in at the ChlrtH Olgood anchor desk for thi: .TV network's terraced set. Seated beside his Saturday newscast.

Equipped with a voice that ripReviewing the tape of Osgood's pies like an .1111derground stream and, 1V debut, Wallace was typically more often than not, with a bow tie, direct: "You look as if you're about the 66-ycar-old Osgood plays host to to be executed." · stories on Janet Reno or an operaOsgood's self:appointed tutor ·star, an a new Broadway play or wasn't finished.

Just because. ·• Osgood also does.the occasional story himself, with a feature on tap · each Sunday in ApriJ; This week, he profiles Felipe Alou, Dominican ' manager of the Montreal Expos baseball team. · "But my role as host is pretty much that," Osgood says. "I'm just one of the troops." For that, he won a 1998-Peabody Award- known as broadcasting's Pulitzer Prize. Osgood's entry into television was groundbreaking, and somewhat of a flop. He was general manager of . the . nation's first pay-TV service, marketed to viewers in Hartford, Conn., in 1963. Zenith had invented an ove~-the­ air system called Phonevision. "It had a lot going for it," recalls _ something that nobody at CBS News will tell you: This is an acting job. You have to play the part." "I rea IIy came to understand what he was talking about," Osgood , says: "Nobody knows everything, but you have to project an air of authority -· and without talking down to the audience. "After my second, week, he called and said, 'That was t,<IUCH better."' ' In 1971, Osgood joined the CBS network. He hasn't been lectured to since. ..y JENNIFER L BYRNES . · • GALLIPOLIS - Livestock producers seeking cost-share on environit)ental improvements to their fanns , will npw be required to allend "LEAP" . lraining. •.

Sound like a movie Rudolph Giuliani would assail? No way. The mayor's in it. Giuliani presides over a gala dinner at Central Park's Tavern on the Green, ce)ebrating the donation of new lighting for the park. When the lights go on, the guests stare out the large window and see- Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn making out on the. lawn. This is the most hilarious 51;ene in an otherwise uneven comedy based on the Neil Simon screenplay for the 1970 Jack Lemmon-Sandy Dennis movie of the same name. That version was far from vintage Simon, the couple's treatment at the hands of New Yorkers seeming more masochistic than funny. ' The new "Out-of-Towners" begins with Henry and NancyQark (Martin -And Hawn) ba~k home in Ohio suffering the middle-age blues as their son flies off to study in Paris -· their daughter has moved to New York. Nancy is:beset with the empty-nest syndrome. . Henry has just been fired from his job at an ad agency, a victim of age discrimination, and he is afraid to tell his wife. His one hope: a job interview 1 in New York. Nancy insists on accompanying him. · The trip seems doo_med from the start. New York is socked in, and their plane is diverted to Boston. Their luggage is lost, they miss their train, buses are unavailable. They rent a car and become lost on the expressway. Their arrival in New York is marked by a crash through the Fulton Fish Market stalls. . On their way to the hotel the Clarks are accosted by a well-dressed Britisher who says he needs $5 for a phone call. The couple are charmed when the man allows them to think that he's Andrew Uoyd Webber, in town for the opening of a new show. He turns out to he a stickup man who robs · the Clarks, takiryg his wallet and her purse. A.tleast the hotel can provide shelter, they think. Bul\¥hen they admit to . no funds and no baggage, the smarmy hotel manager turns vicious and sends them back to the street. He is none other than John Cleese, playing a malignant version of his Basil Fawlty of "Fawlty Towers-." ' No need to list the remaining disasters that befall the Qarks. In a loose adaptation of Simon's original screenplay (not based on a play), Marc Lawrence has fashioned a variety of m-ps that are sometimes hilarious, BOmeiimes wearying. · Sam Weisman, whose "George of the Juilgl"e" was surprisingly entertaining, direCts '"The Out-of-Thwners" with ccjual skill, displaying a sure hand for slapstick.

Charles Osgood marks his fifth year as host NEW YORK (AP) - A while back, Charles Osgood returned from a trip to learn that one of his "Sunday Morning" cOlleagues had taken a job over at '"the CBS Everting News." • After wishing him well, Osgood mentioned how, "in the past 24 hours, at least 20 people_sought me out to tell me they love 'Sunday Morning.' "Do me a favor: Let me know the first time some.one tells "you they love 'The Evening News."' Osgood tags this little story with a rascally laugh. Meaning: It's nice, really nice, to be part of something people don't just value, but adore. And have, for a long time. In January, ;·cas News Sunday Morning" marked two gracious decades on the air. Now April brings another milestone: Osgood's fifth anniversary as host. In retrospect, i,t, seems obvious .that no one but Osj~ood could have followed Charles Kuralt, who in 1994 decided to step·oown from.the broadcast he inspired and, after 37 years, to retire from CBS News. (He died in 1997.) Osgood ,says he had no designs on Kuralt's "Sunday Morning" stool, "and it never for a second occunred to me that someone would ask me to do that show. "l'm sure there were some peapie who thought I was · a poor choice," he adds, "but most of the audience has been supportive from the very beginning." · · Small wonder. Like Kuralt before him, <Osgood comes across as erudite, yet folksy. A gentleman without a trace of la-di-da. An op)imist. Someone pleasant-looking, but clearly J:iut on camera to. do more than· look good. Osgood has been invisible for much of his career. His background is principally in radio. Monday through Friday, he arises at 2:30 a.m. to prepare his "Osgood Files" !lews commentaries, which air on CBS Radio at 6:25, 7:25, 8:25 and 9:25 a.m. EST. .

HelpWented OPPORTUNITY FDA THE Public Sale and Auction By PATRICIA LAMIELL AP Bu1lneas Writer NEW YORK- Now that the Dow IO,OOo party is over, investors are returning to 'a more sobering concern: Did companies earn enough in the· first quarter to justify their stratospheric stoc~ prices? In the next few weeks, earnings reports will determine whether the Dow can stay near its all-time closing high of 10,006.78 reached last Monday. Despite the earnings warnings already issued by some high-profile companies, many analysts believe the Dow can. . "We think that first-quarter earnings are more likely to boost the market than drag itdown," writes Edward Keon at Prudential Securities. "Most companies probably feel pretty comfortable that they will meet or beat forecasts." Analysts expect first-quarter profits for S&P 500 comyanies to be up between 5 percent and 6 percent from the ·prst quarter of 1998 after a flat fourth quarter and a drop .:of 3 percent in the third quarter of'la5t year. · : .Fewer companies have warned of disappointing earn~ n~s this quarter, compared with the fourth quarter. liy this .pOint three months ago, I 0 of the 30 Dow industrials had :issued downbeat forecasts ; so far this quarter just CocaCola and IBM have anno~nced their sales would not meet ~xpectations. · Profits have improved mostly because the U.S. econo: my continues to grow at a ferocious pace. Last Wednesday, the ComJilerce Department confirmed that .the nation's gross domestic product grew at a 6srcent annual rate in ·' the fourth quarter. Personal income and spending bot grew in February, and a Money Magazine/ABC News poll showed consumer confidence held up in the face of NATO military strikes in Yugoslavia. Another reason for optimism is that foreign economies are doing less badly, which should benefit U.S.-based global companies. And the dollar remains weaker.than it was for most of 1998. While that can make imports more costly, it boosts the value of U.S. profits earned overseas. · Leading the list .o f first-quarter earnings winners will . be technology companies, expected lo ri>e 37 percent, said analyst Joseph Abbott of 1/BIE/S Inc., a provider of corporate earnings information based in New York. "They were hurt first by the Asian crisis and now 'they're ret:overing first ," he said. Earnings at big Internet companies like America Online and Yahoo will also be higher, Abbott said. Telecommunications orofits are expected to be up 25 percent as companies benefit from Internet business and deregulation of the long-distance industry, said Chuck Hill, an analyst at · Call environment. 10 •3 110 mil membert, 1nd provide 1n 1re1 lor m..tlng1 and_ tr1lnlng · actlvltlee. .
