When a social scientist of the future examines the American scene of today, one of the reflections, that will come under his scrutiny will be television programs of the U.S. When in the course of one week, two important documentaries on the television network CBS, devote themselves to the U.S. preparations for atomic warfare, they indicate a trend of thought which is now taken for granted. Thus the power of the atomic age was argued in the opening show of the 26-part documentary "Air Power," and in another documentary "See It Now's" "Revolution in the Navy," which will be concluded in a second show in January. Both were important factual television that revealed socio-political facts about the U.S.
