...also decreased, and so has the concern of private donors. About half of Harlem Prep's supporters have turned to other programs. Says Exxon's Spokesman Richard F. Neblett: "Most corporations structure their grants to demonstrate innovation. They can't fund an independent program ad infinitum...
...FINAL AWAKENING came when I "snorted" a good sized pinch of heroin. Up to that point, I had, at one time or another, smoked pot, tried LSD, Psylocybin, Mescaline, Dexadrine, Alcohol, and so on ad infinitum. Being head of a drug education group and of reasonable sound mind and body, my motivation was curiousity of a most unmorbid sort--but each new experience left me with the same anti-climax.

Situation comedies, suspense, westerns, are all redundant in that they operate on the basis of what is probable. This noninformative quality of television is particularly true in terms of the highly centralized structure of television.
