TEXT C In most of the human civilization of which we have any proper records, youth has drawn on either art or life formodels, planning to emulate the heroes depicted in epics on the shadow —— play screen or the stage, or those knownhuman beings, fathers or grandfathers, chiefs or craftsmen, whose every characteristic can be studied and imitated. Asrecently as 1910, this was the prevailing condition in the United States. If he came from a non-literate background, the recentimmigrant learned to speak, move, and think like an American by using his eyes and ears on the labor line and in the homesof more acculturated cousins, by watching school children, or by absorbing the standards of the teacher, the foreman, theclerk who served him in the store. For the literate and the literate children of the non-literate, there was art —— the story ofthe frustrated artist in the prairie town of the second generation battling with the limitations of the first. And at a simpler level,there were the Western and Hollywood fairy tales which pointed a moral but did not, as a rule, reach table manners. Withthe development of the countermovement against Hollywood, with the efflorescence of photography, with Time-Life-Fortunetypes of reporting and the dead-pan New York manner of describing the life of an old-clothes dealer in a forgotten street or ofpresenting the "accurate", "checked" details of the lives of people whose eminence gave at least a sort of license to attackthem, with the passion for "human documents" in Depression days —— a necessary substitute for proletarian art amongmiddle-class writers who knew nothing about proletarians, and middle-class readers who needed the shock of verisimilitude—— a new era in American life was ushered in. It was the era in which young people imitated neither life nor art nor fairy tale,but instead were presented with models drawn from life with minimal but crucial distortions. Doctored life histories, posedcarelessness, "candid" shots of people in their own homes which took hours to arrange, pictures shot from real life to scriptwritten months before supplemented by national polls and surveys which assured the reader that this hobby socks didindeed represent a national norm or a growing trend —— replaced the older models.

TEXT D To get a chocolate out of a box requires a considerable amount of unpacking; the box has to be taken out of the

paper bag in which it arrived; the cellophane wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed; the chocolate

itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. But this insane amount of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It

is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in cellophane, polythene, or paper. The package

itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately, unless wrapping accounts for much of the

refuse put out by the average London household each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is

necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is abused. Packaging is using up scarce energy and
