To those who say, "People wouldn't
look, they wouldn't be interested..."
               
"...they're tooc omplacent,
indifferent and insulated"...
               
...I can only reply: There is,
in one reporter's opinion...
               
...considerable evidence
against that contention.
               
But even if they are right,
what have they got to lose?

Because if they are right...  
               
...and this instrument
is good for nothing...
               
...but to entertain,
amuse and insulate...
               
...then the tube is flickering now...
               
...and we will soon see
that the whole struggle is lost.  
               
This instrument can teach.  
               
It can illuminate
and it can even inspire.

But it can do so only to the extent
that humans are determined to use it...

...towards those ends.

Otherwise,
it is merely wiresand lights...

...in a box.


               
Good night, and good luck.
