KURTZ: James Wolcott, Jon Benet Ramsey, Chandra Levy, Elizabeth Smart are white,

cute middle class. Isn't it true, let's be candid here, that white editors and executives

in news organizations tend to identify with people like themselves and that thosekind of cases are going to get more attention in part for that reason?

WOLCOTT: Well, I think that's part of it. I think part of it is that if this is an archetypal

story being played out, part of it is the whole notion of the American dream, and the

American dream is upscale. This is why so many cases, horrible cases, that are, you

know, in -- you know, in impoverished neighborhoods or whatever, go unnoticed. Imean it takes -- it takes certain things coming together to make it a story that

snowballs and everyone's interested in. And I don't doubt the sincerity of people

who use this as -- you know, who believe this is an issue and a cause, you know, in

terms of abused children, but for most of the people watching, the issue is a

smokescreen for what they're really interested in, which is -- it is a voyeurism and it's

a cliffhanger. People want to know how it comes out.
