The David Dinkins Show?Concerned about short TV sound-bites on the local news, New York City Mayor David Dinkins plans to spend more time with TV viewers. Dinkins has tentatively accepted a proposal to begin a weekly program of his own this month on a city-owned station, spokesman Albert Scardino said: “We will be trying a variety of different formulas to supplement the direct question-and-answer routine, to allow the mayor to express himself in sort of a casual, conversational approach instead of one or two sentences.”
