Attempt to find a common theme that relates to the previous themes • Additional Resource Video: Apollo 1 Mission Results in Space Changes https://bit.ly/2DXV9gs The Apollo 1 Mission Videos of Quotes from the Apollo 1 Astronauts: https://ctm.americanexperience.org Directions: Consider the words of the following NASA astronauts who were scheduled to lift off in Apollo 1 on February 21, 1967. Virgil “Gus” Grissom: There's always a possibility that you can have a catastrophic failure, of course. This can happen on any flight. It can happen on the last one as well as the first one. You just plan as best you can to take care of all these eventualities, and you get a well-trained crew, and you go fly. Ed White: "I think you have to understand the feeling that a pilot has, that a test pilot has, that I look forward a great deal to making the first flight. There's a great deal of pride involved in making a first flight." (The New York Times, January 29, 1967, p. 48.) Roger Chaffee: “Oh, I don’t like to say anything scary about it. Um, there’s a lot of unknowns of course and a lot of problems that could develop, might develop. And they’ll have to be solved and that’s what we’re there for.” During a test launch approximately a month before their scheduled launch into space, these men suffered a tragic death when they were locked inside of their command module when a fire broke out aboard the ship.

  • Volume 3 Number 185 the Battle for Color Television - II
    Volume 3 Number 185 The Battle for Color Television - II Lead: In the 1940s two corporate giants, NBC and CBS, fought over the means of broadcasting television in color. Tag: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: After World War II, NBC under its chairman, David Sarnoff, had begun commercial black and white television broadcasts and was selling TVs by the truckload. Its great rival, William Paley’s CBS, was producing Black and White shows such as Ed Sullivan but at the same was experimenting with color television in hopes of getting a jump on the competition. The problem was the CBS color system used a spinning wheel with color filters in the camera and in the TV set and produced a signal which could not be received by existing black and white TVs without a relatively expensive converter. Sarnoff had too many sets out there to give up his advantage and began a campaign to smear the CBS system. NBC was working on an all-electronic color system, without the cumbersome spinning wheels, but which they thought would not be ready for years. By 1950 CBS was ready and had applied to the Federal Communications Commission to designate its system as the only standard. Both sides were at it now. Secret meetings with congressmen, lobbying, accusations in the media. Millions were at stake. Finally, the FCC approved CBS color in October 1950 and the courts struck down NBC’s court challenge. The problem was, not a single CBS color set had been sold, just a lot of useless black and white sets.

Robert Pitofsky is in a Position to Influence a New Doctrine 695 Conclusion 698 Introduction In today's information-hungry society, the mass media is a powerful industry that impacts the lives of most people.1 Almost everyone is exposed to the mass media on a daily basis by reading the newspaper, listening to the radio, or watching television broadcasts. Routinely, the topics of public debate reflect the issues that are addressed by the mass media through its various outlets. When the ownership of media outlets is widely dispersed, the range of new and distinctive ideas is increased. However, this range is greatly restricted when media ownership is highly concentrated. One problem that occurs with a highly concentrated mass media is that journalists are no longer "watchdogs" for society. Historically, journalists have investigated and exposed incidents of illegality in business. When the media is highly concentrated, critics warn that it will not be able to continue this effective "watchdog" role since the trail of some stories will often lead to their own parent companies.
