In a world such as this where the people are bombarded with realism everyday. a little unrealism is needed. SAD IS THE day when romanticism is banned from stage. screen and television. What would we have to turn to? The only things left are cops and robbers. cowboys and Indians, and just plain old blood and guts. Everyday, people see all of this. People today don't necessarily have to get all of this information in the way of entertainment. People know the energy crisis is here, they see it in the long gas lines and electric bills. People know crime is rampant, most likely they have been a victim at least once. People know corruption and scaping are real, they hear it and read it in the news media. And that's how it should be. THE NEWS MEDIA is the place for realism. Let's hope they never do away with that. All things have a place; and that's the place for that. Give us entertainment. Give us the $10 million musicals. They are worth it. 'Reader's Page' provides forum Realism is here though, and it will always be. That's all right. Everyone should be free to have a choice of what entertainment to Halyard plans new features enjoy. But it's sad when one mode of entertainment suffers for the sake of another.
