...reaction is understandable. De spite the acknowledged importance of TV in the life of a modern child, remarkably little study has been done in the field. To draw any meaningful conclusions, researchers must first find a comparable group of children who have not been exposed to TV; but alas, in the U.S. there is no such group. What studies have been made are largely peripheral. Yes, Video Boy devotes half an hour less to playtime than did the pre-TV child. No, TV does not discourage reading, but if anything, stimulates it.

...This means that those who are concerned have to escalate the dimensions of protest." To that end, a group of antiwar Protestant theologians met in Chicago last week in the first stage of an attempt to work out a clear-cut theological approach to situations like Viet Nam. Such an approach would indeed be helpful, since the antiwar churchmen differ widely among themselves as to why the conflict is wrong.

Though each is in search of an intensely personal salvation, each represents a familiar 20th century type...
...those attitudes and meanings which are brought to mind by such words as gentleness, communion, compassion, sincerity, honesty, sensitivity, and freedom. Although the "teaching methods" and course activities will be strictly experimental, they will, tentatively, include aspects of sensory awareness techniques, non-verbar communication, sensitivity and encounter and T-group techniques, music, dancing, massage, woodsing, and beaching...
