TVs Midterm Grade: A D for Effort
Young people can think deeply about their wardrobes and the future as long as theyre gorgeous and live near a bikini beach. Blacks are great for a laugh but tend to become invisible after 9 P.M., when things are liable to get serious. Couples, married or not, must have a repertory of one-liner put-downs to keep each other entertained. And older folk, if seen at all, make convenient bashing targets. Thus has network television, armed with numerous audience-research studies, looked at the nation, calculated carefully and brought forth a 1992-93 season that, for the most part, verges on the scandalous. Creativity and social responsibility have gone into a joint nose dive as the networks further pare budgets and intensify their focus on younger segments of the audience. That process, encouraged by advertisers, continues to emphasize divisions between generations. The upshot: a season of clones, crass exploitations and uninspired diversions.

Uncertain Toll in the Fog of War: Civilian Deaths in Afghanistan
In an age of eavesdropping warplanes and satellite-guided bombs, the Pentagon finds itself accused of sometimes relying on faulty intelligence in Afghanistan, leading to an unnecessary toll of civilian deaths. Scrutiny has grown since a predawn raid on Jan. 24, when U.S. commandos killed at least 21 men presumed to be Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters. Officials in the interim Afghan government have since joined grieving survivors in calling the attack a tragic mistake, with some surmising the Americans were duped with false information by a scheming local warlord.. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of innocent Afghans have lost their lives during American attacks, and Pentagon finds itself accused of sometimes relying on faulty intelligence; military has so far made detailed inquiries into only few cases, but now full-fledged investigation by Pentagons Central Command is under way; most often, Defense Sec Donald H Rumsfeld and military spokesmen have dismissed accusations of mistakes as enemy propaganda; many mournful Afghan families are demanding reckoning; map (M)

Though Not Linked to Terrorism, Many Detainees Cannot Go Home
The Justice Department has blocked the departures of 87 foreign detainees who had been ordered deported or had agreed to go home, while investigators comb through information pouring in from overseas to ensure that they have no ties to terrorism, law enforcement officials say. Most of the detainees are Arabs or Muslims, and many have spent more than 100 days in jail waiting to leave the country, with no end to detention in sight. Nearly all were jailed after being picked up on visa violations at traffic stops or because of neighbors suspicions..
