At 9 every night, from Dhahran on the Persian Gulf to Riyadh in the middle of the Saudi desert, thousands of television viewers blithely ignore the nightly news program on Saudi television to tune into a television channel that is barred from the Government-controlled airwaves.

All our lives are filled with "everyone knows" stories. "Everyone knows" the man down the street is having an affair with his wife's bridge partner.

That skepticism is all the more striking because 56 percent of the public said they thought the economy would benefit from a cut like the Democrats' $400 credit for working couples passed by the House last week.
