...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." Excessive anything-smoking, drinking, pogo-stick jumping-can be indicative of personal problems. Excessive TV viewing may also be indicative of great interest, and serves as the greatest educator since the invention of the Latin grammar school...
...maxims and proven experience against the French, argued for an abandonment of large-scale or big-unit fighting and a return to guerrilla warfare in the south that might last for 10 or 20 years. His chief opponent and longtime rival, General Nguyen Chi Thanh, wanted to stick with big-unit warfare. Thanh had the advantage of being closest to the action as head of all Communist operations in South Viet Nam from his headquarters northwest of Saigon along the Cambodian border, and he prevailed in the Politburo...
...President's own record, however, simply does not square with these lofty ideals.

A couple of years ago, the Pistons occasionally had trouble luring 1,000 people into Cobo Arena to see them play. This year, attendance averages 7,500, and six times has topped the 10,000 mark. As Coach Butcher says...
...suppose that Avatar is the worst written of the underground newspapers (which it is not). Who is to say that tomorrow some Cambridge magnate might not decide that the CRIMSON is offensive and badly written. The parallel is admittedly a bad one because Harvard University wields a big stick in town and the local officials wouldn't want to tangle with Harvard Law professors over the issue. The point is, however, that the reason they would never crack down on the CRIMSON is because it doesn't deserve to be cracked down upon (a pity) but even...
