Unfortunately, the book fails to deal with concurrent changes in America's consumption of news. Increases and improvements in news analysis might have little effect, since most of today's voters get the bulk of their news not from developed anaylsis, but from the one-liner world of tabloids and television. McCarthy and the Press even leaves some question about the efficacy of the vigorous reporting which did go on during the McCarthy era. Bayley found that those Wisconsin areas with newspapers which did oppose Senator McCarthy--with news analysis and editorials--saw a steady erosion of the Senator...
Farrah Fawcett as Orson Welles? Well, not quite in bulk, but maybe a wee bit in skills. Asked to perform in a TV commercial for Fabergé hair products bearing her name, Farrah, 34, wrote the ad, okayed the cinematographer, had a hand in picking the props and even chose her costar, ex-New York Jet Joe Namath, 38. "I saw the ad in my mind and it came out exactly as I wanted it," says Farrah. "It has a sense of humor." The 30-sec. spot calls for Farrah to take a shower with Namath, with whom she teamed...
...bulk of the state's case will be presented this week. Its lawyers are arguing that evolution is fully as religious (or nonreligious) as creation science, and that evolution cannot meet the strict definition of science any better than creation science can.

Several scientists will testify that the odds are improbably high that all species arose from a primordial cell through natural selection...
...most active and humanist group in this country; diehard atheists, too, have a pretty good record of social concern. It is among devoted and casual Christians-especially Protestants-that there are the vast numbers who could form new majorities, new sentiments. At least for the moment, though the bulk of organized American Christianity supports the very worst political tendencies, confusing, making synonymous, the identities of Americans and Christians. Jerry Falwell and his ilk do command an enormous following, and anyone with a feel for statistics can prove the existence of the overwhelmingly conservative Bible Belt with the results...
...freshmen, for sheer geographical reasons, comprise the bulk of the late-night visitors. "Oh yeah, you can pick out freshmen," Higgins says, laughing outright. "They make no sense--they're right out of control, they're wingin' it. They'll buy anything. They buy more Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies than anyone could eat." The point, though, is debatable: "There are law school students who walk in here as goony as any freshman," insists Eric, a long-time employee...
