...Baloney," said Robert Maynard, a trustee of the committee and a Washington Post editorial writer. "He's trying to make us a partner in his calumny." Another trustee, Jack Landon, backed up Maynard. In the meantime, it remained unclear whether or not Felker had actually promised to make a contribution either to Schorr or the committee...
Since the 1920s, the electronic media have become a fashionable source of anxiety, their power apparently boundless but their influence still strangely unclear. If information dispersal has become an entertainment form, this is, as we have seen, no total break with the past. When news came infrequently, as it did in the 18th century, its reception often provided occasions for gathering and celebration. It is the frequency of its reception that makes the real difference. When the entertainment appears daily, even hourly, the focus becomes the transmitter, not the information. This may be the only way of coping with...

Zaire has in the past been open to many influences, and it is far from clear that the United States controls its policy. Zaire presently uses...
...look like those enigmatic Tuscan profiles her great uncle used to sell to Boston brahmins. She falls in love with Barry, marries him, remains statuesque but apathetic, and finally becomes religious. She is weak, and as such the audience tends to sympathize with her. But it is unclear whether Barry treats her rightly or wrongly. We see nothing of their courtship. We see little of their relations in marriage. We just don't know...
