...balloting nights, of course, ABC had no choice but to go overtime. Still, the ABC experiment cut to the very nature of the TV medium. Unlike print, television does not lend itself readily to organizing, tabulating and editing. In trying to substitute these disciplines for TV's usually half-formed rush of life, ABC failed-but further experimentation may be instructive...
...then placed each group in a separate container with ten normal females. As the bugs mated, eggs laid by the females were carefully watched. None of those from females confined with males treated with 100 micrograms of DMF ever hatched. Few eggs from the 10-microgram group and only half from the 1-microgram group eventually hatched into larvae. Analysis of the females that had mated with the 100-microgram males proved that between 1 and 5 micrograms of the absorbed DMF had been passed to them in the male sexual fluids, enough to cause lifelong sterilization...

...teachers lapse, despite a recommendation from a faculty committee that they be rehired. That led to the mass resignations of teachers and staff. Much to their surprise, the trustees accepted them all. Since a dozen more teachers had departed earlier, Franconia now faces the fall with only 20 teachers, half the number of last year's staff. No one knows for sure how many students will bother to show up for class in September...
