Your July 22 story "Self-Defeat" points up the ability of Nielsen Television Index to provide much more comprehensive measurement of TV audiences than mere "ratings." While it is true that there is some interplay of audience between the Ed Sullivan and Steve Allen programs, our research has shown that tune-outs are not excessive.

Only from the compounded half-truths of the Student Council and a magazine writer with a Good Friday deadline, could an article like Religion in our Colleges result. It says a "religious renascence" has taken place at Harvard...
