Scientists in Fargo, North Dakota have developed a TV set made entirely out of sugar. You can lick it while you watch.

Ping . . . Got the right column? Maybe you bought the wrong magazine? Pong!

I'm lying here with a handful of controls, pinging and ponging on my TV screen. No more CBS News or Tomorrow Show for me. I don't use my TV set to watch TV. Not anymore.

TV games use your TV screen to display simulated game fields—ping pong, table tennis, hockey, war games, rifle ranges, etc.—and let you and your friend play each other off across the cathode ray tube battlefield. Prices run from $50 up to $1,000. But what's money for if not to buy things?
