   THE NEW YORK TIMES. Section 2. Page 25. 1368 words. "Punching
the Stop Button Before the VCR Takes Over" By William McDonald.   
COMMENTARY: In a drawn out self-reflection of the author's
obsession with tape recording tv shows off the tv and never
having the time to watch them, Mr. McDonald mentions Xena in
passing when he opined about the positive merits of taping: "You
don't have to decide between 'America's Most Wanted' and 'Xena:
Warrior Princess,' both occupying the same time slot on different
channels; you can simply tape one while watching the other." 


Tentative [328] 07-08-96
   THE HARTFORD COURANT. Page A1. 1535 words. "Gone on Dogs; Camp
for Canines and Friends Is Truly a Bone Voyage". By Helen Ubinas. 
  COMMENTARY: Rabid fan named her 1-year-old pointer "Xena the
Warrior Princess" and paid over $685 to attend Camp Gone To The
Dogs with her dog.
