...absurd and the childish here but, at the same time, you feel almost as if the artist was playing a rather bizarre joke on his audience. He presents shapes and figures that are not the abstractions they appear to be, but symbols. And what you, as an individual viewer, see in thos symbols is as much an indication of your own psychological state as of the artist's. Miro has insisted that a form is "always a sign of something," yet, viewing these works, one is never quite sure whether the artist is giving away signs about himself or somehow...
Back in the '50s, there was a fuss over a brainwashing technique known as subliminal communication. A movie theater found that if its films included tiny blips of commercials for popcorn and soda -moving past so quickly that the viewer did not consciously realize he was seeing them-popcorn and soda sales went up.

Fred Silverman's success has hinged on his ability to identify with the ordinary viewer. When he picks a show he likes, chances are that 40 million or 50 million other people will like it too. But now, through extraordinary circumstances, he will be programming for everyone. CBS, which he left in 1975, still runs many of his shows, including Rhoda, Good Times and M*A*S*H, and ABC will do the same for years to come. NBC will switch to the Silverman channel next month. It is, as the industry cliché goes, a truly awesome...
