television set can sit in his house and watch the President make a speech or visit a<br />
foreign country. He can see a war being fought and watch statesmen try to bring<br />
about peace. Through television, home viewers can see and learn about people,<br />
places, and things in faraway lands. Television even takes its viewers out of this<br />
world. It brings them coverage of America's astronauts as the astronauts explore<br />
outer space.<br />
In addition to all these things, television brings its viewers a steady stream of<br />
