inutes in a drugstore are five times more likely to make a purchase than those who spend half an hour there？

M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drugstore for ten minutes, it's usually to make a specific purchase.

W: And someone who spends more time there maybe just looking.

M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'd buy something, and then talk yourself out of it？

W: Yes, I have, especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.

M: Exactly. But ff you run into buying something specific and have very little time. You pick it up, pay for it immediately and then leave.

W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time and you'll spend less money.

M: I doubt ff that would be true in all stores, though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.

th after seeing the movie Money Train on cable television. They were caught at the scene red-handed, so they aren't claiming innocence. Instead, their defense is that the media are the real culprits; Money Train and television made them do it.

You listen as the prosecutor tells you and your eleven colleagues that similar appeals have been rejected in the past. A boy in Florida named Ronnie Zamora killed an elderly neighbor and said he was just imitating Kojak. Some boys gang raped two little girls after seeing a similar attack on an NBC made-for-television movie, Born Innocent. Both times juries like yours refused to place the blame on the media) Millions of people had seen the same content, those juries reasoned, and they didn't kill anyone, rape anybody, or set fire to anything.

Then you listen to the defense. These are good kids. They've never been in trouble. But they'd seen thieves in the movie squirt a flammable liquid into a token booth and set it afire, causing the clerk to open the door to escape. The defendants did what the movie had taught them to do, only this time the clerk didn't get out in time. She was burned to death. The lawyer asks,

Where would these children have gotten such an idea？ Their parents didn't teach them this. Why did they think it was possible？ Why did they think no one would get hurt？ The attorney then quotes former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole’s comments on the floor of the U.S. Senate after a series of similar attacks occurred when the movie was in the theaters. Those who work in Hollywood’s corporate suites must also be willing to accept their share of the blame, said the Republican who would eventually run for president.
