OK, well, maybe 15 minutes. But NYPL? You're worthy of a full season in prime time! Those fidgety network execs, obsessed with ADD-driven ratings, should be hogtied to your map room chairs, so that you can parade your wares in front of them. This should have a calming effect. But don't be surprised if you hear: 'Alice! I've got a terrific idea for a reality TV show! We could call it "Smiley's People"!' 'No Ken, that's been done before: the spy thing, with Al Guinness.' 'Oh, right. Alice! I've got it! We'll call it "Smiley's Maps"! It'll pull in a 50% share - guaranteed! Tuesday nights at 8:00! What do you think? Alice? Baby?' Is gagging allowed in your map room? Hope they air it this time, and that it's fabulous! Brian Brian P. Bach Documents/Maps Brooks Library Central Washington University 400 E.

The Dorsey brothers bit was chosen by the program editor over "maps" to lighten up the program last Sunday. Don't hold your breath, however. If it airs, you will get to see a bit of the new map room in living color. These segments are only a few minutes long, so if you blink, you may miss it! Alice C.
