Last year, for the first time, Americans bought more color-TV sets (5,800,000) than black-and-white (5,500,000), bringing the total of color-owning households to 19 million, or one out of every three in the U.S. Those homes, according to Nielsen, tune in an extra 42 minutes a day.

...roughly translatable as "Glory to the Lotus Sutra of the Mystical Law." In homes, it is usually chanted in front of a Go-honzon, a small wooden altar containing a replica of the original prayer scroll, the Dai-Gohonzon, still enshrined in Japan. * One Soka Gakkai song-to the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad-immortalizes the practice: "I've been doing shakubuku all the livelong...
