Description:
Seldes talks about the alarming full page advertisement that reads "Television moves out of the living room..." and can now go in to the kitchen, bedroom, den, or bungalow. The portable television can be rented. He believes this will put the television set in the same bracket as the telephone. ~ Seldes also briefly mentions the concept of televisions in cars. He discusses the super saturation of television sets in the United States, but claims people are going back to the cinema. ~ Seldes believes it is difficult to un-addict yourself from television. ~ He goes on to discuss the political side of television. He quotes James Reston's article about two political statements, and the manner in which they made them. President Eisenhower held a press conference at the Indian Treaty Room of the Old State Department building (a room Reston deems very ugly). Two hours later a Senator Joseph R. McCarthy made a statement in Room 155 of the Senate Office Building. ~ Seldes then discusses semantics and Stuart Chase, who wrote "The Tyranny of Words" and Charles Ogden, author of "The Meaning of Meaning." ~ This leads to a discussion of semantics in politics and broadcasting. ~ He goes on to discuss children being taught to read and progressive schools. Seldes goes on to talk about rendering of abstract ideas through graphics, a book call "A Visual History of the United States." ~ Finally, he talks about a book by Elmer Davis, who has a new book out, "We Were Born Free."
