...Sesame Street and The Electric Company, teaches classes on the media at the Ed School. "What we do is find out how we can use TV and education and entertainment," he says, adding that "when you put something on TV, there's no opportunity to talk back and react. The new technology is videodiscs, playback and cable. You can set up a two-way interaction between the media and kids." Lesser says the Ed School and MIT may collaborate soon to set up media research and production facilities...
...destructive to workers. But misery and drudgery are always comparative. Despite the sometimes nostalgic haze around their images, the pre-industrial peasant and the 19th century American farmer did brutish work far harder than the assembly line. The untouchable who sweeps excrement in the streets of Bombay would react with blank incomprehension to the malaise of some $17-an-hour workers on a Chrysler assembly line. The Indian, after all, has passed from "alienation" into a degradation that is almost mystical. In Nicaragua, the average 19-year-old peasant has worked longer and harder than most Americans of middle...
...agree that questions about batting one's eyelashes are inappropriate at any level of the selection process.

Horace Busby, aide and friend to both L.B.J. and Connally during those days, found that the Governor grew to be a "larger man." It may have been, reasoned Busby, a sense of how fragile life is that comes from having just missed death...
...question. "Given France's problems and limits, Giscard probably has done as well with it as anyone could," says Hoffmann in a judgment that is widely shared by foreign observers. Yet Giscard faltered at the start. For the first 27 months of his term, the government failed to react adequately to quadrupled international oil prices. Resorting to classic pump-priming methods, it fueled inflation while the franc weakened. The President then turned to hard-nosed Premier Barre, a decision that has been described as "the best Giscard has made in seven years...
