"There's no question these ripped-from-the-news stories make it a lot easier for television programmers to go out and market a film. The audience has heard about them," said Allen Sabinson, ABC's vice president for motion pictures for television and miniseries. "And there's no question we have some predilection to do them and do a lot of them. The question that we're sitting and asking is, is there a reason to do it that goes beyond simply getting a (rating) number?" Some of the movies are made without the permission of the real-life participants, but are based on material in the public domain, such as news accounts or trial transcripts. Sabinson said "Unspeakable Acts," about the molestation of tots at a Florida day-care center, will serve the purpose of teaching the public the warning signs of child abuse.

"Challenger," about the space shuttle explosion, aims to educate audiences on the risks of technological achievement. "The Preppy Murder" will try to reveal the anguish of the victim's family, not just because of the crime, but because of the ensuing publicity. Whether the family will welcome even more publicity in the form of the TV movie remains to be seen. LOS ANGELES (AP) There are certainly enough crass, venal motivations at the networks to go around. But to hear some of the makers of TV movies talk, there are some loftier goals as well.

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward are allowing a made-for-TV production for ABC of their book "The Final Days," in hopes of reminding people about the constitutional crisis and the personal drama behind Watergate. So maybe they'll make a few bucks, too. Prosecutor Joe Hynes, who reaped a lovely free ticket to Los Angeles to sit in a hot room with a lot of TV critics, is cooperating on NBC's "Howard Beach: Making the Case for Murder." He hopes it will enlighten the public about the much-publicized case of a vicious New York racial attack. Elaine Shannon is cooperating with the NBC movie "Drug Wars: The Kiki Camarena Story," based on her book, "Desperados: Latin Drug Lords, U.S. Lawmen, and The War America Can't Win," in hopes it will inspire the public to demand that the government get serious about the drug problem.

ABC is also making a movie about the Challenger disaster, Rock Hudson's battle against AIDS, a Florida child molestation case and the so-called "preppy murder," a New.
