...introduced his latest design, a fully automatic machine that has three buttons: one for "short," extra-strong coffee, another for "long," slightly weaker coffee, and a third for a continuous flow of coffee to fill a pot.

...shadows begin to lengthen on her lawn and the commercials for virile laundry detergents (Boost!, Blast!, Fist!, Kick!, Sneer!, Guts!) ricochet around the homemaker's uncleaned living room, sloth can easily be accounted for. As for wrath, that depends. Will she one day wax wroth when she suddenly realizes how many sunlit hours have been spent before the tube? Will she rise and turn off the set? Or is she trapped forever in the flickering world of vicarious fun and games, scandal and sex? Tune out tomorrow...
