November 3 draws near and partisans from both political camps have been heard from loud, and in some cases, clear. But there are other things that will be decided on November 3 than who is to be the next President, and foremost among them, in my opinion, is the So called Referendum 15 in California, which I view as a historical struggle the consequences of which will greatly affect the future of this country, political, economic, cultural, and educational. That is a portentous sentence, but I so wrote it intentionally because the movement by a bloc in California to outlaw pay-TV is exactly that, an epochal attempt to stop progress, interfere with the First Amendment, secure monopolies, and abort the most encouraging cultural exploitation of the photo-electric formulas Einstein thought through years and years ago, making television possible.
