...scout the Wolfpack and said he hadn't studied any films. Several U.C.L.A. players skipped practice the week before the game, preparing instead for pre-Christmas exams. U.C.L.A. obviously intended its usual brand of play: defense keyed around a menacing full-court press; scoring generated by fast breaks fed by quick outlet passes from Walton. When the Bruins use a more methodical, set offense, it also revolves around Walton as shooter, passer and pick setter. That strategy almost broke down two weeks earlier when U.C.L.A. beat a tenacious Maryland team by only one point, emerging from that unnerving contest...
CRTS glow eerily at U.P.I, headquarters in New York and at ten A.P. regional "hubs" across the U.S. When correspondents' stories reach these central offices, they are now fed directly into computers. Seated next to their CRTS, wire-service editors can order the computer to display on-screen a list of all stories filed during the previous 24 hours. Another command can call up the text of a story, which is then seen on the screen in segments of up to 31 lines at a time. As the editor electronically rolls the story forward, he can maneuver a lighted...

And in the only industrial enterprise of any significance--the rubber plantations in the South--conditions were even worse than in the rural villages. The workers there were slaves: they worked long hours, were fed next to nothing, and could be murdered by guards at whim. Of 45,000 people who worked in one plantation between 1917 and 1944, 12,000 died there. Life was brutal in the village, too, but at least it was a familiar harshness...
...world less fleeting than a half hour of network news sandwiched between vapid and 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...
