QUESTION : 2
In November of 1966, Y wrote an article for TV Guide in which
hecomplained about the numerous scientific inaccuracies found in TV
showsof a certain genre. X didn't take kindly to the jab, and
immediately wrote to
Y with a polite but stern response.
In all friendliness, and with sincere thanks for the hundreds of
wonderfulhours of reading you have given me, it does seem to me
that your articleoverlooked entirely the practical, factual and
scientific problems involved ingetting a television show on the air
and keeping it there. Televisiondeserved much criticism, not just
this genre alone but all of it, but thatcriticism should be aimed,
not shot-gunned. For example, _____ almostdid not get on the air,
because it refused to put a "Lassie" aboard thespace ship, and
because it insisted on hiring Dick Matheson, HarlanEllison, A.E.
Van Vogt, Phil Farmer, and so on.
Give me X and Y .

And swept them clean
