All illusions are potential ways of ordering reality. The goal of criticism should therefore be not to destroy illusions but to make us more sensitive to their workings and their complexity.

I think Edward R. Murrow is part of the reason why I have such an intense love-hate relationship with television, and why, ultimately, I am an optimist about its future. With all of the dreck out there, there continue to be bold, inventive and idealistic creative producers who manage to find ways to inform, entertain and inspire.

Since I worked in TV news (early in my career), I learned of the quality writing and broadcasting of Edward R. Murrow. His name is now synonymous with excellence in the broadcasting industry. Many books have been written about Murrow. My favorite is this compendium of his TV scripts: "See It Now- A Selection in Texts and Pictures."
