Other experts suggest that the number of top horses contending for the Crown may have been diminished by the rapid growth of racing days nationwide. Many horses are raced out by the end of their two-year-old campaigns and retired. The breeders of others now pick and choose among rich purses scattered across 15 states rather than risk everything for show money in the Triple Crown events in a year when a really fine horse like Spectacular Bid turns up. In 1948 there were 696 stakes and feature races, only nine with purses...
...Capitol Hill, there is feeling that if HEW is dismantled, a Department of Education would become a mouthpiece for the NEA while a Department of Health would become a loudspeaker for the American Medical Association. Both Albert Shanker, president of the AFT, and Bok, despite their diverging motivations, suggest an internal reorganization of the massive HEW machinery along the lines of the Pentagon's five services. Bok says he would hate to see "a better structured organization within a very strong department (i.e., HEW) replaced by a Cabinet secretary in a really weak department...
...increasing number of studies suggest that the main danger of television may not be the message, but the medium itself, just looking at TV. In Bedford, Mass., Psychophysiologist Thomas Mulholland and Peter Crown, a professor of television and psychology at Hampshire College, have attached electrodes to the heads of children and adults as they watched TV. Mulholland thought that kids watching exciting shows would show high attention. To his surprise, the reverse proved true. While viewing TV, the subjects' output of alpha waves increased, indicating they were in a passive state, as if they were "just sitting quietly...
...forces stumble over themselves in their desire to dispatch Scheider. Like so many younger film makers today, Demme is generous in his implied homages to Hitchcock. His camera buzzes around like a mosquito looking for some place to draw blood. Maddeningly, the script offers a number of scenes that suggest an air of gathering menace, but it never quite manages to stitch them together into a tense line of force. Nor does it offer substitutes that can compensate for that defect-an off-the-wall characterization here, an unexpected plot twist there, a memorable line of dialogue somewhere else. This...
...FROM A distance of more than two feet, the copies can pass for the originals. Rockefeller's craftsmen used a photographic process called Cibachrome to suggest the texture as well as the color of paint. To a viewer with no forewarning, the copy would give him the same "experience" as the original. It is the critic's bias against the reproduction that somehow makes it "worse." If the reproductions offer the same experience as the original, why shouldn't they be considered worthwhile? For centuries artists have reproduced their art--engravers like Albrecht Durer and William Blake made rough woodblocks...
