2 tablespoons Galliano
1 tablespoon orange juice

Blend to a smooth consistency. Drizzle over the
warm cake.

well-aged whiskey balls. Make them at least a week
ahead.

spoon until sugar is dissolved. When syrup reaches
boiling point, remove from heat and pour over fruit.
Let stand at least four hours at room temperature.
When ready to serve add ice and chilled wine. Yield:
1 quart.
TV
nds
visual
revolution
When Walt Disney created Fantasia
and released it in 1940, the public
response could hardly be called
deafening. It was not popular.
The idea of combining sight and sound
in a mind-cxpanding way was too arty for
the consuming public. They liked their
senses blotted in conventional ways, such
as viewing a recognizable Fred
MacMurray portraying a recognizable
band leader in a recognizable
boy-meet-girl episode.
In the 1950s, a rerelease of Fantasia
met with much the same response. It was
nice enough for the kids and all, but
teenagers and grownup mommies and
daddies got bored after the first set.
Finally made it
, But then came the '60s and another
rerelease, and Waif Disney emerged as a
man two generations ahead of his time.
We loved it!
Sight and sound hitting the receiver in
ways that best accommodate just sight
and sound-it was revolutionary!
Other commercial films have started
recently to play around with the idea. So
why hasn't television gotten the message?
What better way to deliver more
bodies to the advertisers than to use TV
as a visual medium, creating all kinds of
fantastic trips for the eyes while working
the same magic in the ears?
Television's lineage is partly
responsible for its predominantly
one-level approach. TV networks sprang
from radio networks. Consequently,
ron wylie
eye of the beholder
television basically has been radio which
can be seen.
7-Up visuals
Of current programming designed for
an entertaining visual experience, only an
occassional Undersea World of Jacques
Cousteau or a recent 7-Up commercial
show any perception of what television is
capable of doing.
- One step necessary for the sight ana
sound revolution to make it big in TV
programming is the realization that visual
experience does not really need a lot of
explanation (or plot) to sustain itself.
Example: fireworks and the almost
unlimited fascination they hold for most
of us. On the night of July 4 most of us
would stay out mere an mgui u wmwuv
would keep firing skyward those
exploding meteors.
With a combination of live action and
animation, complicated by some
electronic game playing, the types of
visual programming available to television
are beyond itemization.
This is not to suggest that the
networks should scrap their entire
collection of sitcoms, westerns and
cops-and-robbers shows to turn every
hour into some form of hallucinogenic
flash. But some experimentation might be
fun for starters.
Inner Volcano
Let's have more of such things as
dropping remote control cameras into
volcanos or watching the circuitry of
"thinking" multi-operational computers.
Or, perhaps better plots could be worked
out using combinations of live and
animated action-not just children's show
themes, but mystery and fantasy ideas on
the adult level.
The generation that finally appreciated
Walt Disney's genius in creative
movie-making is moving up into the
consumer-dominant age group. Perhaps
when Madison Avenue and the networks
realize this, they will expand their minds
in the attempts to reach ours.
