   Thursday, Aug. 4, 10-11 p.m. EDT, on CBS:  "People Magazine
on TV." Now you can quit all that heavy reading at the
checkout counter; your favorite sections of People are being
transmuted to the video medium.  This trial segment features
Princess Diana, the Duchess of York, a man who raises wolves,
and (appropriately) a machine that pops corn directly off the
cob.

Sunday, Aug. 14, 9-10 p.m. EDT, on HBO (repeated Aug 18,
22, 27 and 30):  "Tidy Endings."  Harvey Fierstein, who won
Tony Awards (best play and best actor) for his "Torch Song
Trilogy" and for his libretto for "La Cage Aux Folles," makes
his TV debut in this film.  Mr. Fierstein adapted the script
from his Broadway play, "Safe Sex," and stars as the bereaved
lover of a man who's recently succumbed to the ravages of
AIDS.  The plot is complicated by the fact that the deceased
also is mourned by his former wife (Stockard Channing) and
estranged son.
