Maurice did use his studies
for q bit OF escape, but we
think he deserves some credit
for choosing this particular

sordid entertainments.

Marilyn seems TO have over

Maurice appears TO have a
great capacity TO grow and a

Most of last winter was spent
at the television set. Now the
winter is over. So are a lot of
other things. I'm ready to click
the set of and turn my own
brightener up. Let the tube cool.
TV is still an infantile form OF
the old game of stereopticon
slides. II you don't think it is
babyish. name a program you
would pay so cents to see at the
local movie.
Still, televiSion is better than
some things. 1t is better than
turning the lights on and talk
ing to the old man. It is a dis
appointing. frustrating thing.
but IL, like me. you use it to
kill unwanted hours. 1t is better
than a sleeping pill and there
are no toxic side effects. OF
course, with pill you may get
a nice dream. but, as q song
writer once said, that's the
chance you take.

Memory Tests

I'm sucker for the cowboy
stuff. The Lord only knows
why. The plots are almost as
old as the horses. The only
change I can see is that the
heroes are now drinking
straight booze and tossing
lecherous looks at Nell. And
that man Cochise! What a
stupid redskin. No matter how
many times he is double
crossed by the white man, he
is always ready to forgive and
forget and start anew. Some
day. his tribe will ambush him.
Matters became so bad for
me that I began to read the
television columns in the news
papers. These are at their best,
in my estimation. when they
tell you what is going to be on
the screen tonight. and at their
worst when they spend their
space telling us what we saw
last night. A review is good
only when the reader can use
1t for guidance. When I read
a review of a play or a pic
ture, I have a chance to decide
whether I want to see it or
not.
