I love the waterfront just as it is now, and don't want it turned into another lifeless pseudo-suburb like today's lower First Avenue or Broadway. America is even rediscovering the grand and noble tradition of disrespect for one's president. Mass-market paperbacks have often had ads stuck in the middle. Kruschev, Frank Lloyd Wright, Brigitte Bardot. Using sophisticated marketing techniques at relatively unsophisticated audiences, these companies prey on compulsive shoppers to buy tacky wall clocks and briefcases.
Cable systems running the channels get a percentage of all sales from their subscribers.
No system that runs this form of unabashed audience manipulation should ever again claim to be providing a public service to plea for exorbitant rate increases. Don't ask where I got it, but I've now got a 1972-vintage tourist map of scenic El Salvador . It looks just like a Tourmap publication, with cheesy drawings of local industries and recreational opportunities. The saddest part, though, is the color photos of ugly modern lo-rise office buildings. I'll see you at the Incredibly Strange Matinees , noon weekends at the University Cinemas.
