J D BAUBY-

Sunday. If the TV is turned on, it is vital to have made the right decision. It is almost a matter of
strategy. For three or four hours are likely to go by before the return of the kindly soul who can change
channels. Sometimes it is wiser to forgo an interesting program if it is followed by a tearful soap
opera, a silly game show, or a raucous talk show. Violent applause hurts my ears. I prefer the peace of
documentaries on art, history, or animals. I watch them without the sound, the way you watch flames
in a fireplace.
