I didn't realize how much I had missed Rosenberg until I read his hilarious articles on Sally Jessy Raphael ("It's Raphael's Patriotic Duty to Tell," July 20) and Moyer. His humorous put-downs of what is wrong with television always hit the mark. Welcome back, Howard. LOUIS MARTIN Studio City

Oh, my. What's a poor talk show host to do? It's always something. Take Sally Jessy (There's Nothing She Won't Do for Ratings) Raphael, for example. Imagine her dilemma. On July 13, the first day of the Democratic National Convention, a public relations firm faxed her office a release about a woman (not Gennifer Flowers) claiming to have had an affair with Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, who on Thursday was named the party's presidential nominee.

For Sale Sign: Talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael is selling her Bucks County, Pa., bed-and-breakfast inn and the family retreat next to it where her daughter died in February. The asking price is $1.8 million for the 155-year-old Isaac Stover House and the barn that was converted into a seven-bedroom retreat for her eight unmarried children. Neither Raphael nor her manager-husband, Karl Soderlund, has visited the property since the Feb. 2 death of her daughter, Allison Vladimir, 33.

The final episode of "Sun Up San Diego," which aired Friday, was much like the thousands of episodes that preceded it. The San Diego Zoo brought animals. Co-host Kathi Diamant smiled constantly, hugging members of the studio audience. Her partner, Jerry G. Bishop, sang his own version of "Yesterday." Natasha Josefewitz read a poem. Above all, though, the show had the warmth and relaxed atmosphere that has symbolized "Sun Up" for 30 years.

"This is crazy! Why aren't these people in jail?" Joan Rivers is incredulous. She is outraged. And no wonder. She has just heard three divorced parents charge on her syndicated talk show that their young children had been sexually abused while in the court-ordered custody of the other parent. Each has told Rivers a similar story of a separate cold, indifferent judge who had ignored or rejected the evidence presented by the "good" parent and perpetuated a child's stay with the "bad" parent.
