Abstract Henry Ward Beecher was a student at Amherst College when he received the news from Harriet Beecher that Catharine Beecher and their father, Lyman Beecher, had gone out to Cincinnati to assess the prospects for removing the Beecher tribe to western soil. The West of the male imagination was a garden of possibility, an extension of the mission that had drawn the Puritans to the rocky coast of New England. Lyman Beecher understood that the great westward movement of the 19th century was dramatically altering the character of the republic. During the next eighteen months, he and Catharine conspired and planned their campaigns. Just as Lyman Beecher had viewed Catharine's Hartford Female Seminary as a fortress against Episcopalianism in Connecticut, so her female college and his male seminary would be bastions against infidelism and Roman Catholicism in Ohio. Edward Beecher had begun this western campaign by going to Jacksonville, Illinois, to assume the presidency of Illinois College.

Use of Western broadcasting techniques and the consideration of viewers' interests transformed Soviet television. It acquired an uncharacteristically dynamic, topical, and aggressive style that was particularly noticeable in news programs–watched by some 90 percent of the viewers– and in telebridges with the West. In the Moscow-Vladivostok-Tokyo telebridge, the Soviet audience answered general questions by focusing on details and questions about specifics with generalizations. The first Soviet-US telebridges organized by US television figure Phil Donahue and Soviet television commentator Vladimir Pozner, were regarded as a triumph for the Soviet Union: In telebridges as well as in other broadcasts with foreign audience participation, our arguments always look more solid. V. Bochevarov wrote of the Soviet patriots' "burning hatred" for "the political provocateur Phil Donahue" and his collaborator Vladimir Pozner. Most of the questions posed by Phil Donahue were either "not offensive" to the Soviet audience or the subject of private or public discussion in the Soviet Union anyway.
