Title of a short story. People were getting too busy to keep up with reading all that was being published, even using the various digests. So digests-of-digests followed and so on to the logical(?) extreme conclusion. Each day the government would use arcane formulae to distill the day's printed output into a six letter word and distribute that to the public. Read just one word and feel informed. The first such day's word was "IRTNOG".
