Drew Pearson, an inveterate Nixonphobe, tried to be considerably more damaging with a story-given in a speech rather than a column-that Nixon visited a psychiatrist some years ago because of his difficulty in standing up under pressure.

Mrs. Reich explained: "Television is part of our culture, and having TV will give the kids a feeling of knowing what everyone else knows." Similarly, Dr. Richard Kenyon, an official of the American Chemical Society in Washington, reclaimed his set after two years' banishment. "If you are without it these days, you are a little too out of touch with the stream of modern life," he says...
