WhatisdestroyingAmericatodayisnottheliberalbreedofpoliticians,ortheInternationalMonetaryFundbankers,misguidededucationalelite,ortheWorldCouncilofChurches.Thesearelargelysymptomsofagreaterdisorder.Butifthereisanysingleinstitutiontoblame,itistelevision.

Television,infact,hasgreaterpoweroverthelivesofmostAmericansthananyeducationalsystemorgovernmentorchurch.Childrenparticularlyareeasilyinfluenced.Theyarefascinated,hypnotized(着迷的)andtranquilizedbyTV.Itisoftenthecenteroftheirworld.Evenwhenthesetisturnedoff,theycontinuetotellstoriesaboutwhatthey'veseenonit.Nowonder,then,thatwhentheygrowuptheyarenotpreparedforthefrontlineoflife;theysimplyhavenomentaldefensestoconfronttherealityoftheworld.

TheTruthAboutTV

OneofthemostdisturbingtruthsaboutTVisthatiteatsbooks.Onceoutofschool,nearly60%ofalladultAmericanshaveneverreadasinglebook,andmostoftherestreadonlyonebookayear.AlvinKernan,authorofTheDeathofLiterature,saysthatreadingbooks"isceasingtobetheprimarywayofknowingsomethinginoursociety."Healsopointsoutthatbachelor'sdegreesinEnglishliteraturehavedeclinedby33%inthelasttwentyyears.Americanlibraries,headds,areincrisis,withfewpatronstosupportthem.
