When he started out on the project, says Commission Chairman William J. McGill, he thought that the U.S. should have a public network like the BBC. But that, he now believes, should have been done more than 50 years ago, at the time broadcasting began. Public TV in Amer ica is now too diverse for planners to consider a centralized network. "You have to build out of the bedrock of existing structures," insists McGill, who is also president of Columbia University...

Shedding almost all its English allusions, the show is thoroughly Amer- icanized and pervasively vulgar. Littlechap shoots for the presidency and makes it, the first Black ever to do so.
