The thought of th irty million healthy red-bloded
Americans sim ultaneously sitting motionless, staring at
pictures th a t flit across the face of an electronic piece of

Yet this occurs quite regularly today as television
has become a firm ly established p art of life in these
United States. Ranking third only to w orking and
sleeping as the activity to w hich the average Am erican
devotes his time, television has been condemned as a N ews O f W orld
tim e-w aster, and hailed as the salvation of the Am erican
home.
