When I was graduating from college,my generation also found the world in a 32 .The economic machinery had broken 33 almost everywhere:In this country nearly a quarter of the 34 was out of work. A major war seemed all 35 likely.As a college newspaper editor at that time,I protested against this 36 as vehemently as student activists are protesting today.I wonder if this blandness of our diet doesn’t explain 37 so many of us are overweight and even dangerously so.When things had flavor, we knew what we were eating all the 38 — and it satisfied us.A 39 of my mother-in-law’s wild strawberry jam will entirely satisfy your j am desire.But,of the 40 tinned or glass-packed strawberry jam,you need half a cupful to get the 41 of what you're eating.Literacy may not be an inalienable human right,but it is 42 that the highly literate Founding Fathers might not have found unreasonable or even 43 .We are not only not attaining it 44 a nation,statistically speaking,but we are falling further and further 45 of attaining it.And,while 1 would not be so simplistic as to suggest that television is the cause,I believe it 46 and is an influence.To share a bedroom with one of these fellows is to lose one’s 47 in human nature,for, even after the 48 eventful day, there is no comparing notes with them,no midnight confidence,no casting 49 the balance of the day’s pleasure and pain.They sink, 50 once,into stupid,heavy slumber,leaving you to your own 51 devices.And they all snore abominably!Downtown,she 52 her car in a garage.Everything was getting ready for this moment.She did not carry the flowers in her 53 but she carried them in her heart.Now she was going to find out 54 it was death or life.Either 55 could tolerate.It did not 56 to her that the newsreel might not be there.
