Acropolis Books, 1974. Public lands must be protected because loggers have no stake in the regrowth of the forest and it is cheapest for them to clearcut without restoration.

The author, a broadcast journalist at WBAL-TV in Baltimore, provides a solid history of interactive cable television as well as impressive background information about the relationship between the media and American political institutions.

His urging of an appropriate policy for these technologies should not go unheeded. Hollander also provides an excellent, contemporary bibliography for a broader search.
