The virtue of "Sesame Street" is that it is not a formal school -- it is a childhood experience of the limitless wonders of the world.

It could be wishful thinking, but "Sesame" may well be the opening volley in an entirely new kind of television that exploits the medium's faults and turns them into virtues.

Sesame Street is not only a nice place for preschool children to visit daily, it's also a place, we're sure, where a lot of 3 to 6-year-olds would like to live if they could.
