A group of teenage girls held a sign that read WE LOVE YOU. For De Leon's mother Barbara, the show of respect was in part a salve for an old wound. De Leon's father had served two tours in Vietnam. When he returned to the U.S., "they treated him like crap," she says. The motorcades and hand-painted signs that honored Mario's death were in stark contrast to how returning...

At the top are the scholarly quiz shows, which reward what we are conditioned from school to think of as "learning." Somewhere in the great liked-but-not-respected middle are the daytime shows like Price made for people outside the 9-to-5 working world...
