Characteristic of this assumption was a segment from Time Magazine's article on Attica. The segment said that the more militant prisoners at Attica "passed around clandestine writings of their own; among them was a poem written by an unknown prisoner, crude but touching in its would-be heroic style." In an insert, Time printed the first stanza of this "would-be heroic" find...
...brightest of PBS's established series, The Great American Dream Machine, has been wisely cut from 90 minutes to a more manageable one hour this year. But opening night-which aired some particularly imaginative segments, notably two charming cartoons and a droll sketch of a Mississippi crop duster-abruptly ended after 45 minutes in a foofaraw symptomatic of public TV's major ailment in the U.S. Since PBS and its producers get much of their financing from the Federal Government, and since this funding is not insulated from querulous annual scrutiny, the network quakes at the least cavil...

Last week's première segment dealt with the words bull and fly. The visuals ran rapidly through the various kinds of "bull"-bullfrog, bully, Bull Moose Party, rodeo bull, bulldogs. "That is a lot of bull," Chapin remarked inevitably. The segment on flying managed to trace that activity from Icarus to the 747 via Superman...
