This, excavation of "the external world" began. As the authoritarianism of the ancients ... placed under close scrutiny. The initial groundwork for Berkley’s position is the truism that the materialist is the skeptic. His idea is that no one can ever perceive the real essence of anything.

- ... to capture viewers for the entire evening. It has become industry gospel that a good news segment must have (1) visual interest, (2) a strong story line, and (3) viewer identification with its outcome.
