Push v. Weight. Professors Morrison and Gold start off by challenging one of the most basic laws of all, the principle of equivalence. According to this rule, on which general relativity is built, a body's inertial mass (resistance to a push) is the same in a given gravitational field as its gravitational mass (weight). Morrison and Gold admit that every experiment tried so far has shown the two kinds of mass to be precisely equivalent, but they think the apparatus used may have been biased in favor of equivalence. Anti-matter,* they point out, is just as respectable...

Kazan takes time to inspect such scenic wonders of TV as the reason-why-sell, the inverse commercial, the collective think, the built-in crowd. He also provides some hilarious examples of TV shoptalk ("Great show. J.B." "Ye-e-es, I think it had size"). And all the while he is sinking the oyster knife into his victim, who loves nothing in the world so much as power-above all the power to make...
