Tennis superstars
Martina, Capriati
meet at Memorial

By BOB NORMAN
Senior Statt Writer

Memorial Coliseum. the famed
“House that Rupp Built," Will be re.
arranged today to accommodate a
game of a different sort.

A l2()-foot by (ill-foot synthetic
rubber carpet, trucked tn frotn New
York, will be urtrolled on the hard
wood of the Coliseum and a tennis
net will line the center. The court.
made by Courtship. Will be sur-
rounded by a 3-foot wall arid high
curtain drapittgs on both ends.

And then a 35-year-old, nine-
tttne Wimbledon champion and a
l5~year—old tennis sensation will
meet on the makeshift tennis court.

“It’s just like the ones they use
for all the major indoor touma-
ments,“ said Gary Swain, producer
of the tnatch run by North Amert~
can Events. “Everything is gotng to
be first class."

Martina Navratilova, the oldest
great women‘s tennis player in the
world. and Jennifer CapriaU. the
youngest great tennis player irt the
world. will match was and hits iii
the Hilliard Lyons Tennis Classic.

The Classic will serve off at 7 to
night w ith one set of mixed doubles
betweert members of the UK men‘s
and women‘s teams.

But the feature attraction, follow-
ing the set of mixed doubles. will
be among the professionals. Navrat-
ilova ts ranked fourth in the world.
while the up-and-coming (‘apriatr is
two places behind at sixth.

The two last met tn Baltimore
last week. with Capriatt winning 77
o. (1-3. It marked the second-
straight victory for the New York
name over the aging superstar.

(‘aprtatt also defeated Navratilo-
xa on Navratilova's own turt at
Wimbledon in the quarterfinals this
year.

(‘apriatr and Navratrloy‘a \\ ere de~
feared by Monica Seles tn the IWI

U.S. Open. Capriati fell in the semi-
finals whilc Navratilova fell to
Selcs in the finals.

Navratilova and Capriati are as
near opposites world as it would
seemipossible. Navratilova is the
distinguished chatnpion. Capriati ts
the young player who still must
prove herself a champion.

In the “personal" file of a news
release on the two, one finds that
Navratilova has worked a number
of charities for abused children. She
is a member of Planned Parenthood
and the Sierra (‘lub.

Navratilova ts also a lesbian and
has written about her experiences in
Martina, an autobiography that was
released In 1985. Two weeks ago.
the native of Prague, C/echoslova-
kia. using the Magic Johnson AIDS
issue as a departure, spoke out on
the “double standard“ between men
and women. She said that if a fe-
male had done what Johnson did.
that ts to admit promiscutty. she
would have been called a “slut."

Caprtatt. on the other side of the
court, ts something of a sex sytnbol.
She endorses Oil of Olay. Prtnce.
Diadora and Texaco.

She also “enjoys swimming. golf.
reading. music and hanging out
with buddies."

But. despite the obvious differ
ences tn their personal lives. the
two have very similar, power games
on the court. Navratilova ts steadily
powerful with a consistent game de»
signed to overwhelm opponents
slowly.

Caprtati has a smashing serve and
crushing forehand btit at times is in»
consistent. Sometimes her age
shows in mtshtts and breakdowns tn
her game.

The new syndicated version of
“WKRP in Cincinnati“ is not half
bad. That might sound like the tnost
iinenthtisiastic compliment possi-

ble. but it‘s a compliment nonethe-
less.

When you compare the new
”WKRP" to most other syndicated
sitcoms, shows like “Small Won-
der" and “My Sister the lamp,” it
comes off looking like “Citizen
Kane." But when you compare it
to the old network version of
“WKRP,” the 1991 model comes
up short. There are two primary
problems: writing and casting. The
first is not surprising. Only a few of

“I‘m ready/ready for what‘s

track on .Aliftung Baby, U2‘s much
anticipated follow-up to the critical-

Not content to attend the norm in
the music industry and follow a

Where The Joshua Tree was

lung is unrefined and discordant.
Throughout the album, leaden, of—

evanescent melodies and sensitive
lyrical arrangements. each accentu-
ating the other‘s extreme. The result

energetic collection of music that

the writers and producers who
made the original version such a
treasure are back this time.

These new people, while talent-
ed, cannot hold a candle to the peo-
ple who shaped the show in the first
place. But that's to be expected.
Syndicated shows, with their small—
er budgets, can‘t hope to snare the
industry‘s best people. The writing
isn’t bad, mind you, just inferior to
the original version, which is a high
standard to shoot for.

Casting is the second problem.
Of the original cast members, only
three are back this time. Station
manager Arthur Carlson (Gordon
lump), news director Les Nessman
(Richard Sanders) and sales manag-
er Herb Tarlck (Frank Bonner) still
roam the hallowed halls of the
mighty 'KRP. The remaining staff
members are all new.

And sadly, they're all unmemora-
ble. When the new show works, it

works because of Carlson, Nessman
and Tarlck. No one else on the
show is particularly funny ~77 or
particularly interesting.

The allegedly Wacky morning
deejay duo, Burns and Allen, are as
unfunny and annoying as most real-
life morning deejay teams. In that
sense, the two are quite believable.

The other characters are pretty
much blank slates, with little per~.
sonaIity and virtually nothing to
make them appealing. The writers
this time around have not invented
the interesting characters that Hugh
Wilson, the show‘s original creator,
invented 13 years ago.

Interesting characters are the cor-
nerstones of any gocxl show. In all
the great sitcoms that one common
element exists. I don'tjust mean the
main characters. I mean all of the
characters — the leads, the support—
ing characters, the semi-regulars,
the guest stars, the walk-ons and

even the off-screen characters,
which the audience never sees.
(Think about Juanita the waitress
and Sarah the telephone operator
from “The Andy Griffith Show")

Characters are inherently more
important than plots or premises.
Think about a few popular shows.
A redhead marries a Cuban singer.
A bigoted blue-collar worker argues
With his dingbat wife and liberal
son-in-law. A bunch of people hang
out in a Boston bar. An overweight
bus driver and a moronic sewer
worker scheme to make money. A
bunch of eccentric bumblers run a
latling radio station.

Are any of those premises all that
brtlltant.’ Do any of them sound
good on paper? To me, they don’t.
But infuse each prerntse With inter-
esting characters, brought to life by
good acting and clever writing, and
every premise mentioned above
turns into a TV classic.

orama are fragmented accounts of
unfulfilled relationships and search-
es for personal redemption. Themes
of desperation, anger and humility
resound on nearly every track.

“Who‘s Gonna Ride Your Wild
Horses“ is an open letter to a for-
mer lover that is laced with thinly
disguised bitterness and the asser-
tion that the receiver will never be
satisfied with anyone. Emotions of
abandoned love from nostalgia to
self-doubt to resentment flow in
and out of the song.

“So Cruel" reports from a love
affair doomed by the capricious na»
ture of the woman, producing the
relenting lyrics, “The men who love
you, you hate the most/they pass
right through you like a ghost/they
look for you but your spirit is in the

air/baby... you're nowhere."

“One" also speaks to the heart
ache of a relationship at the break
ing point: “It‘s one love/we get to
share tt/leaves you baby/if you
don't care for it." However, instead
of the situation ultimately resulting
in acrimony and spite in the song, it
yields a realization that the relation—
ship can be saved through compro—
mise and is worth saving: “One life/
but we're not the same/we get to
carry each other/carry each other."

Other songs are appealing pri-
marily from a musical perspective.
Tunes such as “The Fly" and “Mys—
terious Ways" piece together seem-
ingly incompatible rhythms and
chords into dynamic and unforget-
table harmonies. Tracks such as
”Until the End of the World" and
“lfltra Violet" are charged with
heavy rhythms and guitar riffs that
reverberate endlessly. “Zoo Sta-
tion" simply rocks The (‘asbah With
an uncommon lnlCllHly.

The final two songs on rii‘flllll’
are particularly inspired and lll\t‘fl~
Inc. For “Acrobat" ruthlessly tnci»

sive IIcI\\ from lead guitarist The
Edge are combined mm an unrer
lenttng rhythm to create a musical
chaos that matches Bono's desper-
ate vocals. The endsproduct is as
recklessly intense as anything the
band has ever done,

In ”Love is Blindness." the next
and final track, a quiet, somewhat
