...because of health exiled himself to my semi-tropical hometown in a house located halfway down the road which leads to the swamp where the lads and lasses went on Saturday nights to park, celebrate, or race our cars at ungodly speeds through the licking fingers of the Spaish moss. This professor told me that the dark side of Eliot's face was terrible to behold but that he was a splendid man, "a very moral man, Timmy." Eliot very much resembled the doctor in The Grand Hotel whose face seemed split down the middle-dark on one side, fair...
Congress has done relatively little to promote legislation aimed at information disclosure in the public interest. Inspired by an investigation of Government secrecy practices undertaken by California Democrat John Moss, Congress in 1966 did pass the Freedom of Information Act. This law attempted to liberalize and standardize public information and disclosure policies of Government agencies, and authorized citizen suits in federal court to enjoin such agencies from the improper withholding of records and procedures.

The colors and textures are gorgeous, but at the price, they are a costly pleasure...
...Street has the aura of ad lib, the spontaneity of a playground game with celebrities and characters. In fact, it is as meticulously planned as a semester at medical school. From Palmer's research department, program subjects flow to the production office, then get channeled to Head Writer Jeff Moss, a veteran of the Captain Kangaroo show. Three weeks before taping, Moss and his writers develop a script. Theoretically, their ideal viewer is poor and culturally deprived. Actually, the show catches the preschooler almost before his society does. Thus Sesame Street is as popular with the well...
