excerpts from the interview with Bradbury....
[Q]: What forms of censorship do your regard as the most dangerous today?
Bradbury: There are none in our country. We have too many groups for censorship to be possible. We have Catholics and Jews and Protestants, and Republicans and Democrats, and women's libbers, and lesbians and homosexuals and bisexuals, and young and old...We're all watching each other...The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
[Q]: There seems to have been a decline in standards of journalistic objectivity, to put it mildly.
Bradbury: It's not just substance; it's style. The whole problem of TV and movies today is summed up for me by the film "Moulin Rouge".

I think LC stands for Library of Congress... it has something to do with the classification of the novel.
I used to have a little personal tradition...starting on the first day of summer (or whenever kids got out of school, whichever came first) I would sit down and read a chapter of Dandelion Wine every day.
Goes nicely with the “Main Street USA” book of old Waukegan pictures. (There’s even a picture of the infamous bridge through the ravine!)
You win the cookie! A CASE of cookies. Check my profile. LC classification, and the address of Guy Montag: Block 813.
I feel uber smart!! LOL!!
Kojack is at 4 EST and Cannon hits at 11 AM in between Perry Mason and Hawaii 5-0.
Ever watch Ellery Queen? I have the DVDs and love that series too.
The mini-series needed help apart from the score.
Me-TV is on a range of channels I typically skip but found Kojack I think and now it is a favorite. Good promos.
