8 i, p6 P* B) U) eWhy should I go out to see a movie or a concert---it is a lot more comfortable to stay at home. I have cable TV, which gives me a choice of 30 different programs. Why, I can see a championship fight right in my living room. Or I can rent a good movie for a couple of bucks and watch it on my VCR.2 i9 P! H. @, d# V3 [

Ten different movie theaters, and a whole lot of people to watch, you know? I can, like, spend the whole day there, you know?
