...When he puts on his raincoat, he becomes a secret agent. When his mother presses him to finish his carrots, he mutters "it's clobberin' time" just like The Thing. When Dad takes over the set to watch football, he and his sister play Dating Game with her dolls. He doesn't climb trees; he watches Tarzan do it. At three, he spends five hours a week before the magic box. By the time he is twelve, he will devote 25 hours to weekly viewing, or more time than he will spend with his parents...

"That Oakland is a good, well-coached team," said Green Bay Coach Vince Lombardi, after his N.F.L.-champion Packers drubbed the A.F.L.-champion Raiders 33-14 in last week's Super Bowl.

He winced visibly at a beggar who had been blinded, deplored disease, illiteracy (80%), and the poached-out game lands that the natives suffer with "silent resignation." "Shooting for the pot" (living off the land) for part of the journey, as did the Stanley expedition, Glenn briefly tried to master hurling the knobkerrie, a throwing stick, and missed his target. But he used a Winchester 70 rifle to dispatch...
