The National Endowment of the Arts has recently released __To Read or Not to Read: A
Question of National Consequence,__ Research Report #47. This is an important
publication as it presents an alarming depiction of American readers. Its findings, which
are based on the "most accurate data available," have profound implications for the
talking-book program. It is a "must read." You may access it at
