...worse damage to the overly swelled egos of the Baltimore team. And New York teams just don't lose to those from Baltimore, even when the odds-makers instruct them to. As for today's game, there is no way they can beat Tom Seaver, originally a Braves product who is a fine young pitcher. The New Breed to win, 4-2.

It gives us commercials of flagellating concupiscence so that, after twenty years of them, we begin to view the whole world as a commodity, the uncommitted and benighted as the greatest consumer product. As it crowds more harrowing specials into the week, we turn away with less and less hesitation. It is possible that if Jesus Christ had spoken only on television, Christianity would have died with the emptying coffee cups. Television neither informs nor entertains but inters...
