...jargon, is "music, demo, demo, talk, talk"-guest singer or jazz group, a visual demonstration of something like glassblowing or astronomy, and the inevitable circuit-riding horde of authors promoting books or public figures pushing causes. Garroway calls it the "desk and sofa concept," and he certainly should know. Yet his taste, often waggish, brings in such atypical guests as the proprietor of an ant colony, the mother of 23 children, a pewtersmith, a psychiatrist discussing transvestites and an 88-year-old barbell buff...

Yet each kept "guessing and misunderstanding the motives and actions of the others." To know this...
There are two sides to the generation gap. Just as there are graybeards over 30 who don't know where it's at, there are peach fuzzes barely 20 who haven't the foggiest of where it used to be. Take the traditional college experience, for example. The fiercest barricades used to be social, not political-because the politics were personal, not ideological. It was more important to get in with the right people than get on with the struggle against an unjust world. The results, in those days, were relationships that were both sturdy and slightly...
