...Camp Victim Foils Thugs"--a story about a mugging of a concentration camp survivor in yesterday's edition), sentiment ("Medal for New York's bravest little girl...") and gossip (at least two pages worth every day). Then he packaged it in the most attention-grabbing manner, hired the most garish cartoonist in the United States, David (Rorshach Test) Rigby, and started pushing it in the morning as well as the afternoon...
VIDEO GAMES FLATTEN BOREDOM. They project the banality of the assembly line onto two-dimensional electronic hallucinogenics. Their garish griminess is as dipped in materialism as the somber sootiness of the factory. Like factories, they furnish the means of subsistence--a numbingly overspiced gruel of colorful flashes, bangs, whooshes, titillating, not nourishing the senses.

And behind it all are the masses, the People. Time and again, Gance says, the People are being prepared for Napoleon...
...science of politics, and its first three-day stop is Des Moines, chosen for its central geographic location. To show they mean business, the Dems have rather pretentiously called their course a National Training Academy. It is mostly a mix of skull sessions and pep talks in the garish, maroon-walled ballroom of the Hotel Savery. The subsidized tuition is a modest $95, described by Party Political Director Ann Lewis as "low enough to attract, but high enough to require serious commitment. Lewis is delighted that 240 "students," a third of them women, have come from 30 states to soak...
