on to "vicarious": suggested title

[Timothy Sergay]

   I would think about "Katastrofa na chuzhoi shkure." A semantic  
complication, I guess, is that ANYTHING, any experience witnessed on  
television is vicarious for the viewer by definition. But even so, I  
see your point, and I have the feeling this Russian title should  
basically convey it.

Best wishes,

Tim Sergay
