These programs have turned into spot question and answer sessions, where reporters sniff scraps of news, looking for scoops and boring the public in the process. Not only is it unwise, as so many have already said, for the President to appear live and give snap answers to impossibly knotty questions, but the hordes of reporters and the rapidity with which the topics change confuse even intelligent viewers. Surely Pierre Salinger can break the Administration's big stories and answer the usually petty questions reporters are asking. Kennedy is not needed for that. He is needed to explain...

More than 4,000,000 robot vendors offer everything from onion soup and insurance to a spray of French perfume or a 30-second sniff of oxygen to ease hangovers. And if the coffee isn't quite like home, it's at least hot and close at hand...
