...readers by Farm Futures, a Minnesota-based agriculture magazine (circ. 205,000), more than half the respondents thought farmers' ethical standards had slipped during the past 10 years, and 30% admitted that they occasionally stretched the rules. The lapses often involved cheating on income taxes and government programs. Red tape seems to be a leading cause of the ethical backsliding: 60% of those polled agreed that "it would be impossible to make a living if farmers followed all the rules and regulations made in Washington."

Since 1984, IBM has sold more than 8,500 copies of the $16,500 system, which uses tape recordings and personal computers to teach language skills to kindergarten and first-grade students. Several research articles, including one last summer in the well-regarded Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, have suggested that any benefit kindergartners get from Writing to Read derives more from the extra attention provided by supervising...
...library's overall collection about TV's effect on society is equally abysmal. Harvard makes plenty of primary and secondary material available for students of literature. But try to find a tape of last week's CBS Evening News. Or a tape of anything, for that matter...
