phrenia serves to dramatize the ambivalent state of equil- ibrium attained...thus social schizophrenic-transvestism which is the same as what the Editor calls a Femiphile.
TV is to me an environmental accident. Moreover I feel it is dying out particularly since the Editor's cond- itions 1,2, and 3 are antique....the older environmental conditions have swung full circle. What seems growth in numbers of TVs is just stepped up communication of older TVs crawling from cracks.

Pick up of these threads can occur with or without such pinpointed conditions as the 8 listed
