...effort to fight these worms eating at the core of the Big Apple, merchants, theater owners and the New York Times, which is located just off the square, put up $15,000 for the TV monitors. Similar systems have been tried in other U.S. cities with varying success. If the setup works in Times Square, TV cameras may be installed in other crime-infested areas of the city...

First the United States stopped importing sugar--700,000 tons a year--from...
...escapist situation comedies and cop shows. Now they are gone, and we are left with a choice among Walter Cronkite, Time magazine and the local newspaper with its wire service copy. We are fed an increasingly standardized and bland diet of news and comment, and the portions of hard-core information are getting steadily smaller...
