TWAIN'S
REPLY
When Mark Twain was editing
a newspaper in Mississippi, he
received a letter from a reader
who complained that he had
found a spider in his paper. He
wanted to know' what it meant.
Twain replied . . .
“Dear subscriber: finding a
spider in your paper was neith
er good luck nor bad luck. The
spider was merely looking to
see what merchant did not ad
vertise, so he could go to the
store, spin his web over the
door and live a life of undisturb
ed peace.”

ped sharply after Charles Van

were rigged.
The industry publication reach
ed this conclusion as the result of
two national opinion polls. One
was taken before Van Doren told
his story to House investigators.
The other came a day after the
testimony.
“A national hero fell from
grace last week and with him I
fell the public’s opinion of him
md the medium that pushed him
nto national prominence,” Broad
casting said.
The magazine said the second
loll showed that more than half
if the viewing public now wanted
io more quiz shows. More than
naif slso had lowered their opin
ion of the TV industry after hear
ing Van Doren. the same poll
showed.
The magazine’s report came
Sunday as Sen. Jacob K. J ary its
<R-N. Y i warned the industry it
might be in for a rude shock when
Congress reconvenes in January
unless it moves fast to clean house
and make ‘‘some long over due
changes in programming.”
