...year is a chronicle of the young Robert Finch-everything from president of the senior class and letterman in sports to star of the senior-class play (Death Takes a Holiday). But my most vivid recollection is, I am sure, one of his very first quotes by the news media (Inglewood High Sentinel): "One of the things I most admire in a girl is clean elbows." Evidently I was not the only Finch watcher. The following day I was only one of many girls with red, scrubbed and shiny elbows...
...Brown delivered his blistering attack on the fourth day of the conference. Still, why the press was there at all was a mystery to most of the participants, and by its elaborate coverage--there were probably as many reporters as participants and the cameramen were ubiquitous--the news media admitted implicitly the importance of the people whom it ridiculed in daily copy.

At the very least, Dr. Bandura's work should teach us to realize quite how dangerous it is to leave control of the media in the wrong hands...

Indeed, most youngsters probably have more exposure to prestigeful televised male models than to their own fathers.

...many televised and other mass media presentations antisocial models amass considerable rewarding resources through devious means but are punished following the last commercial on the assumption that the punishment ending will erase or counteract the learning of the model's antisocial behavior. The findings of an experiment by Bandura in 1965 reveal that although punishment administered to a model tends to inhibit children's performance of the modeled behavior, it has virtually no influence on the occurrence of imitative learning. In this experiment children observed a film-mediated aggressive model who was severely punished in one condition, generously rewarded...
