class cost heard lower money
Why are they doing this and disrupting the schedule? It's going to cost so much in busing, we could have used that money to lower class size. I even heard that from a principal.
defined future medium powerful tomorrow
Today, television is the most powerful medium in the world. Tomorrow it will also be the most personal. There is no one future for television. It will be defined differently for everyone.
