...tongue as clues to how the brain stores and articulates language. She believes that thought is placed by the brain into a grammatical framework before it is expressed-this in spite of the fact that she works with college students. A grammatical framework was part of Walter Annenberg's trouble when, as the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Britain, he was asked by the Queen how he was settling in to his London residence. Annenberg admitted to "some discomfiture as a result of a need for elements of refurbishing." Either he was overwhelmed by the circumstance...
Ironically, a $150 million gift to public TV and radio from Publisher Walter Annenberg (TV Guide, Seventeen), announced less than two weeks ago. will do little to bail out PBS.

Other researchers dispute Hirsch's study. George Gerbner, dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania and a leading theorist on TV's influence, calls it "interesting but flawed." Gerbner and his associates say that Hirsch misused statistics on TV watching from the National Opinion Research Center by basing his conclusions primarily on data about the heaviest and lightest viewers, who compose only 6% of those polled. Gerbner says that Hirsch is just "nibbling around the edges to discredit what is an ongoing study in the field." Perhaps the only firm conclusion possible...
