One of the best current examples of what Horowitz is talking ( 1 ) is John Denver. His most ( 2 ) songs—“Sunshine on My Shoulders”, “Rocky Mountain High”, and “Country Road”—( 3 ) the musical drive and power of ( 4 ) rock, while the lyrics celebrate the simple ( 5 ) of“the good old days”.It is all symbolized in my mind by the hugely successful art ( 6 ) that television has made ( 7 ) to the culture, the 30-second commercial: the tiny drama of the ( 8 ) housewife who finds happiness ( 9 ) choosing the right toothpaste. When before in human history has so much humanity ( 10 ) surrendered so much of its leisure to one toy, one mass diversion?They had no ( 11 ) of comparison and assumed that this was a ( 12 ) of his class, just as a traveler stepping off the liner at a foreign ( 13 ) for luncheon sums up a nation’s character forever in the ( 14 ) businessman who happens to ( 15 ) the table with him.Each week, for example, a record of the sales results of the ( 16 ) week for each sales office and for Sales Department as a ( 17 ) for each division of the company is kept and ( 18 ) to the sales results for the ( 19 ) week of the year ( 20 ).But by and large the news reports and commentaries on CBS and NBC and ABC make every ( 21 ) to present viewers with more than one ( 22 ) of an issue， either by letting ( 23 ) spokesmen have their ( 24 ) or by outlining the positions held by both major parties on the subject ( 25 ).
