...have my applause for the TIME Essay, "The Delicate Subject of Inequality" [April 15]. I now know where America's much lamented heroes have gone. They have been shamed into mediocrity and a drab conformity by those embarrassed by excellence: the liberals who roll that stone of Sisyphus known as equality. In their search for a standard of equality, these new egalitarians never dare to look up. They seek the lowest common denominator and establish it as the norm so that no one, however squalid or vulgar, need be left out of the American Dream...
...bulldozer ambition and the preemptive coverage of his own convictions. Like television news itself, the Rivera style is half journalism and half show business. Long-haired, casually hip in crew-neck sweaters and saddle oxfords, Geraldo (pronounced Heraldo) Rivera is sometimes identified as the first "rock-'n'-roll newsman...
...Museum of Science, the show is basic bring-the-kids. It has all the colorful optical illusions that I first encountered in the Tootsie Roll ads under "Metropolis Mailbag" in Superman comics: the same color seeming lighter or darker according to its background, a green, black and orange flag that makes you see red, white and blue when you look away. A prism breaks white light into the color spectrum, and a sodium vapor lamp turns everyone's skin yellow. There are lots of fun knobs to turn and fun buttons to push, and color TV excerpts from ZOOM...

The House Commerce Committee last week voted to roll back domestic crude prices, and the Ways and Means Committee is working on a bill that would tax away "excess" profits that are not quickly spent to increase supply. The tax bill also would raise oil company taxes $16 billion over the next six years by phasing out the depletion...
...five knows his role, knows when to play it and when to step aside and parody it. Sometimes they do both at once, which is good for keeping everyone off balance and juicing interest even higher. Whatever the Stones play at, they remain the definitive rock-'n'-roll group, gutter-hard, brash and tough and tight. They are real monsters in the contemporary sense: outrageous, fine, unstoppable, uncatchable. Call them the best rock-'n'-roll band in the world...
