...think that the statement, "Any time spent beyond 25 hours of weekly viewing is regarded as a sign of emotional disturbance," to be a gross misinterpretation of research on TV viewing. I have seen no evidence to support this argument; in fact, the data seem to show that many highly intelligent and creative individuals, both children and adults, watch TV to degrees that the TIME article would find "excessive."

After all, he knew Judy and had been seen walking along the same road that Judy had been driving on the murder night.
