...industry dreams aloud of a breakthrough when 1,000,000 color sets will be in use. When that great day comes, the industry believes that black-and-white TV will gradually be trampled into oblivion by the noisy stampede of setmakers, networks, advertisers and public toward the elusive rainbow...
...back to Okada's past, recalling to him "the oldtime Japan," though the shapes are his own invention. Says he: "I find myself in nature and nature in myself.

Cartoon Impresario Disney was trundled about from one plug to another by his Mousketeers, who wound up the big sales convention with a tasteless routine on top of a giant birthday cake, plugging a movie called Rainbow Road to Oz. Peter Pan Peanut Butter interrupted a fetching cartoon depiction of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, which Disney dragged out of his attic of past hits for a commercial on its crunchy product.
