( In the last quarter century, televised court proceeding...)
In the last quarter century, televised court proceedings have gone from an outlandish idea to a seemingly inevitable reality. Yet, debate continues to rage over the dangers and benefits to the justice system of cameras in the courtroom. Critics contend television transforms the temple of justice into crass theatre. Supporters maintain that silent cameras portray "the real thing," that without them judicial reality is inevitably filtered through the mind and pens of a finite pool of reporters. Television in a courtroom is clearly a two-edged sword, both invasive and informative. Bringing a trial to the widest possible audience creates pressures and temptations for all participants. While it reduces speculations and fears about what transpired, television sometimes forces the general public, which possesses information the jury may not have, into a conflicting assessment of specific cases and the justice system in general. TV or Not TV argues convincingly that society gains much more than it loses when trials are open to public scrutiny and discussion.

From dust jacket notes: "As the harvest ripens hundreds of thousands of farm laborers pack their families and their belongings into anything that can be driven - even condemned school buses - and fan northward into the nation's fields and orchards to harvest the crops that grace the dining tables of the richest country on earth. Their story begins with a panoramic overview of their world and the three great 'streams' of humanity that move with the maturing crops north up the East and West Coasts and through the country's grain and fruit farms. Goldfarb's very great personal involvement began in 1975 when he was appointed by a federal court to monitor how well the U.S. Department of Labor was providing governmental services to migrant farm workers...and he was appalled at what he learned. He discusses the exclusion of the migrant worker from the minimum age and wage laws, unemployment compensation, workmen's compensation, and labor laws. He shows how the reform measures - well-intentioned when passed - have failed to help. He traces the evolution of the farm workers' labor movement, and brings it up to date with an inside view of Cesar Chavez's work with the United Farm Workers...."
