TV NEWS AND NOTES

The mini-series Show Me a Hero
premieres on Sunday, Aug.16, on
HBO. Based on the nonfiction book
of the same name by Lisa Belkin,
55, a former New York Times jour-
nalist, the series is about how the
city of Yonkers, N.Y., was thrown
into turmoil in the 1980s when a
federal public-housing project was
slated to be built in a middle-class
area. The series was created and
co-written by David Simon, 55
(The Wire). Winona
Ryder, 43, has a
big supporting part
as a Yonkers city
council president
who favored the
project.
It's the 25th
anniversary
of the
Ryder

Chardonnay, merlot, cabernet
sauvignon, riesling, sparkling
wines, dessert wines and more
from more than 150 award-winning
wineries throughout Michigan and
beyond will be showcased at the
15th-annual Wine & Food Festival
at the Meadow Brook Music Festival
in Rochester, presented by Kroger,
Saturday-Sunday, Aug. 22-23. In
addition to wine and food tastings,

publication of Friday Night Lights, a
nonfiction book written by Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist Harry
"Buzz" Bissinger, now 60. His
cousin, actor/director Peter Berg,
51, turned it into a hit movie and
long-running TV series. Bissinger
and his family moved to Odessa,
Texas, in 1988 and spent a year
there so he could follow, for a full
season, the lives of the players on
a high-school football team in a
football-mad town.
The anniversary edition of the
book, just out, includes a post-
script as to what happened to the
players and other people prominent
in his book. In an NPR interview,
Bissinger vehemently defended the
original reportage — pointing out it
was sympathetic in many parts —
but that people knew he was a jour-
nalist and if they didn't want him to
report, for example, that many used
the "n" word, they shouldn't have
used that word while talking to him.
