...homes in the U.S. Cable operators could multiply their audience overnight at minimum expense if someone in each of those homes would pick up the phone and order a hookup. Though most viewers ordering cable do so to see late movies or sports events, or simply to get clearer pictures, programmers are putting together ever more innovative packages of shows that cannot be seen on regular...
CATV quickly caught on in other communities where reception was poor. Antenna builders soon noticed that if they made the towers tall enough, they could pull in signals from distant as well as nearby stations, thereby offering viewers greater variety as well as clearer pictures. But the road from Panther Valley to national prominence was long blocked by the FCC. Not until the 1970s did two events combine to broaden the cable audience dramatically: the FCC's first steps toward deregulation and, more important, the coming of satellite transmission. Since 1975, cable programmers (Home Box Office, a subsidiary...
There is a new urgency, and a sense of responsibility to the anti-nuclear movement. Perhaps that is because the issues now seem to be resolving themselves into clearer and more fundamental choices. Some understood these choices long ago. As two distinguished scientists and humanitarians, Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russelt, put it earlier in the Nuclear...
...older modern art gets, the further it slides away, the clearer it becomes that the difference between us and the early moderns was not just one of talent. They were obsessed and inspired, as we no longer are, by the promise of the 20th century and a world made new. Because of the general faith in development, the four decades between 1890 and 1930 make up one of the supreme periods in the cultural history of the West-riven, tragic, dissonant, yet as vigorous as the Italian Renaissance: a rewriting of the contract between man and his symbols...
...just severely uninformed. No one is really sure of the true character of the nuclear power source. The bottom line, though, is an issue everyone has skirted--probably because it is so painful. Nuclear fuel, like all power sources, poses some danger to the public. When we get a clearer picture of the true hazards of the atomic industry, we will be better equipped to evaluate the potential consequences. Nuclear power will have become a cost-benefit proposition, which will require us to question the relative importance of our cars, our appliances and our health. It will be a time...
