The Federal Communications Commission finally inspired consensus. The conditions it imposed on the merger of Comcast and NBC Universal drew brickbats were from all corners. Anti-consolidation factions grumbled. The pro-business camp carped. Democratic lawmakers wrung gloves. Republicans barked like guard dogs.

This week’s news reminded me of many years ago
when I’d been living in the city for a while. By “city,” I mean population: 260,000.
I had moved there from an area thicker with jack-rabbits than human beings. A
friend of mine from rabbit country had come to the city for a surgery. Most of
what she and her husband knew of cities is what they heard in the news. He wore
a holstered .44 across his chest.

The setting--a small country farmhouse in the
Midwest. Era--TV sets had dials. Evening. Supper is over. Dishes are done. By
hand. Harley and Emabel convene in the living room.
Harley: “Put on ‘Lawrence Welk,’ would you Mama?”
Emabel: Walks over to the TV set and turns on “Lawrence Welk.”
He indulges in his dream of being Myron Floren.
Commercial break.
Harley: “Turn that down a little.”
Emabel: Gets up and turns down the volume.
