- H-e-e-r-e's -- Jesse?
- </hdr><body>
- <p> Oprah and Geraldo should brace themselves. The Rev. Jesse
- Jackson is starting his own TV talk show. The two-time
- Democratic presidential candidate announced last week that he
- has signed on with a subsidiary of Warner Communications to
- produce Voices of America with Jesse Jackson, a weekly one-hour
- program that will debut in the fall of next year, if stations
- decide to buy it. The surprisingly early announcement may have
- been meant to kill rumors that Jackson may try to become mayor
- of Washington in the November 1990 elections. If so, it failed.
- While declaring once again that he had "no plans" to run in that
- election, he noted that "my real interest is serving and
- building a coalition as a communicator." One adviser notes that
- since the last presidential campaign, Jackson has been looking
- for a "steady platform" that would keep him in the public eye.
- There has never been a conflict in Jackson's ability to talk,
- talk, talk while he runs, runs, runs.
