This week, however. I’d like to turn coat and tables on myself and do some hefty hollering about a speech on the future of television recently de livered by Dr. Millard Faught, an economist, at the University Club of Chicago. I happened to pop-eye a copy of it the other day, and while I haven’t the space to give you the whole 4.000 words, here’s a bit of the cream off the top . . . To begin with.
