thinks that this company needs. He doesn't know one end
of the receiver from the other.

kind of coincidence It just came across it again.
Speaker 1: What do you think this is, Miss Hastings.
Speaker 8: I couldn't.
Speaker 3: It's a rady a radio which looks more like a
cotton rice screamer or sold. This was my first design,
my very first design. You designed this, mister, My first design,
my first prize. There was a magazine called American Youth
had it offered a prize for the best and most
simple design for a crystal set.
Speaker 1: And I submitted this one, and I was I was ten.
Speaker 3: Years old, and illy magazine printed the diagram for this
had youngsters all over the country copied their own sets
from it.
Speaker 1: I just think about it.
Speaker 3: More than forty years ago, a kid who lived in
this house made this radio from my design. I still
remember the prize, a gold medal, and on it was
inscribed to Bertram Fowler, a great scientist of the future.
Speaker 8: And it came true, you are a great scientist.
Speaker 3: Uh huh No, No, I never.
Speaker 1: Became a scientist. I just tinkered around with gadgets.
Speaker 8: D do you mean a thing like this could actually work?
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure, I put on the earphones.
Speaker 8: Wouldn't it need a new battery?
Speaker 1: No, no battery, no electricity. It works by itself.
Speaker 3: You see, it's just just a coil of water a
crystal detector which is made of a silicon or kalina.
Speaker 1: I don't see.
Speaker 3: We we need an area, or we can use the
metal clothes line.
Speaker 1: The lady has stretched into the yard. Oh, this will

Speaker 14: Oh that's they've been brought up.

Speaker 11: Oh it's the money.
Speaker 1: Somebody help me.
Speaker 8: We need a doctor please. Oh, mister don't pay.
Speaker 16: Anyone would have a right to pass out if he
tunes in the news and he gets the bad news
of nineteen twenty seven.
Speaker 3: But why is he picking up that kind of news
and that kind of music. Now what kind of radio
set did our friend Bert Fowler design? Anyhow, I'll be
back shortly with that too.
Speaker 1: Hi, I am burl Ive.
Speaker 3: You know I've been telling you the Alcolm's Long Grain
and Wild Rice is a wonderful way to make an
ordinary meal a great meal.
Speaker 1: I have to keep a.
Speaker 3: Great meal from becoming ordinary. That's because it's a delicious
combination of Uncle Ben's rice, natural wild rice, herbs and seasonings.
Speaker 1: It has a.
Speaker 3: Really distinctive taste just about every grown up love. But
what about those everyday family meals? Well, now Uncle Ben's
has a way to make them special too with Uncle
Ben's new Fast Cooking Long Grain and Wild Rice. It's
flavored with a delicious but milder blend of herbs and seasonings,
so it has a milder taste.
Speaker 1: It cooks in just five.
Speaker 3: Minutes, so it's easy to serve any time with anything, chicken, hamburgers,
whatever's on the family menu. So cli Uncle Ben's new
five minutes fast cooking.
Speaker 1: Long Grain and Wild Rice.
Speaker 3: The whole family will love.
Speaker 13: Its milder taste.
Speaker 1: Hey, with the West Tig, he made a wish and
we take a.
Speaker 3: Getting in geomet treat.
Speaker 13: Wish for a place to live.
Speaker 8: I wish I was in Omaha as my grandmother and grandfathers.
Speaker 1: Wishing is very important, you know.
Speaker 3: I think I wish for all the children of the
oil to be well and health thee and have enough
to eat.
Speaker 6: I wish I could lose one hundred pounds.
Speaker 8: I wish I had a bike.

Speaker 7: I wish that we went every soccer game in our league.
Speaker 8: I wish and I really wish the price of food

Speaker 1: If you want hope, you've got to make a wish.
Speaker 13: If I have one wish to understand my children, I
wish that everything.
Speaker 8: Works out between my boyfriend and me.
Speaker 1: I just wish for a job.
Speaker 8: I wish all of us children would come home to
their fathers.
Speaker 1: Because without a wish, there can be no hope.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I wish there were more love and truth and less
loneliness in the world. From the Franciscans.
Speaker 3: With love, I shot an arrow into the air.
Speaker 1: It fell to earth.
Speaker 3: I know not where, said mister Longfellow. But the fact
of the matter is the arrow did fall finally to
the earth. There is evidently, then a significant difference between
arrows and words. When you shoot, or utter or discharge,
however you want to put it, a word into the air,
Apparently it never falls to earth again. It enters the
ether and stays there forever, or does it? How else
may we account for the fact that Burt Fowler is
now hearing words that entered the airwaves more than forty
five years ago.
Speaker 13: You say that you heard of actual Paul Whiteman.
Speaker 3: Broadcast, And I heard a news broadcast which could only
have been made in nineteen twenty seven because it was
about the conference to restrict the number of battleship. It
was called by President Coolidge. You've heard of him, yes,
And you heard all this on that.
Speaker 1: Side that ice cream curtain.
Speaker 3: This ice cream carton is actually a variable inductance tuning coil,
a crystal detector. And look, doctor, I don't want to
get into anything here.
Speaker 1: I know what I heard.
Speaker 13: Well, And Miss Hastings brought you here to my office.
Speaker 1: She said that you'd had.
Speaker 13: A very uh, a very shattering experience earlier in the
day in your business.
Speaker 1: Affairs yeah, you could say that.
Speaker 3: Well, that was.
Speaker 13: One shot to your system, and then you encountered this,
this radio, which was made from a prize winning design
of yours. Now you're only the child at the time,
so that's the second shot.
Speaker 3: All right, But what.
Speaker 1: Does all this have to do with what I heard?
Speaker 13: Well, the president has suddenly become unbearable and you're escaping
back into a beautiful, promising past.
Speaker 3: Or what you're saying is that for one reason or
another I imagined all this. Well, yes, that's what it. Uh,
that's what it comes to us to follower lies.
Speaker 1: I put on these earphones.
Speaker 3: I scratched that crystal with the uh cat's cat's whisker.
Speaker 1: Oh I got was static? Uh doctor am I okay?
Speaker 3: Otherwise, oh, you check out first rate. Hey listen, let
me know if you raise any more of that twenties jazz.
Speaker 6: Huh, it's time.

kind of voice.
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know, oh, mister Fowler, I wish I
could hear the voices you say.
Speaker 3: You hear, they're there, They're loud and clear. Bert, we're
no longer competitive. There's not a company in the world
that can match our quality. Wrong, but we've got a
cut coup.
Speaker 1: We can't.
Speaker 3: You mean you can't If you know someone who can
produce this quality for less money, Well, i'll step aside.
Speaker 1: How about less quality? There goes the reputation of this company.
Speaker 3: Why don't you worry about our reputation?
Speaker 1: I have to I created it.
Speaker 3: Tie, didn't you resign? I'd have resigned if they named
you president. That would be the easy way out. Well,
you'll simply have to find some shortcut if you put
us back with the rest of a pack.
Speaker 1: Why should people buy our product?
Speaker 3: That's my job marketing. You turn it out, I sell
it just like that. Huh, you're not keeping up with
the current market neither. There's your friend Arthur Davis.
Speaker 1: What about author?
Speaker 3: And I almost fired him today? Why he has a
lot to learn about publicity. That little thing of a
chake of viewer is a crystal set. Just because it
won the prize almost fifty years ago. He thought it
was worth sending word to the press so that you'd
fire him. Here's that old magazine. It's dead and gone,
and pictures of kids and short haircuts and nickers and.
Speaker 1: This crazy looking cotton with all.
Speaker 3: Those clips and fasteners. And you're are executive engineer one.
Speaker 1: You may have missed the point. The image is.
Speaker 3: Old fashioned, the direction is backwards. Nobody cares about yesterday, Bert.
Speaker 8: Mister Anderson's secretary just called. You're supposed to have a
cost analysis ready for the meeting to barb morning. I know,
I know, well if you don't give it to me
to type, they.
Speaker 13: Won't have it.
Speaker 1: That's very well put.
Speaker 8: And I know you haven't even started it.
Speaker 1: That's right, oh, mister Fowler, don't you uh?
Speaker 3: And a leifer m zifah is a man's voice. It
sounds like a man's voice at a leifa mm it
must be a woman's voice. But who are they?
Speaker 6: Who are mister Fowler?
Speaker 8: Should I call back and tell mister Anderson's secretary the report.
Speaker 1: Will be ready?
Speaker 3: H yes, yes, you do that or else we'll tell
her it won't be ready anyway you feel.
Speaker 1: Miss Hastings, you must excuse me.
Speaker 8: Are you going to listen to that that thing again?
Speaker 15: It's time? Money?
Speaker 6: Oh as either give them a shine?
Speaker 15: Oh many chips?
Speaker 9: Is?
Speaker 1: Oh many?
Speaker 6: One more?
Speaker 3: One more?
Speaker 15: You say one more? I give one more?
Speaker 1: And they do.
Speaker 15: Something even more frightful.
Speaker 14: Children, The children, they are different, a solidtle space, so
fewer planets that are green are cool but fertile.
Speaker 6: Another guy, another child?
Speaker 14: You were I we would you hold the space wisely?
Speaker 1: What space? What space?
Speaker 6: Young men and women? They will be different? Wait?
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait for what?
Speaker 3: Mister Followers?
Speaker 8: You all right? Why what's the matter have you've been shouting?
Speaker 7: Wait?
Speaker 8: Wait for what?
Speaker 1: Oh have I now?
Speaker 8: Mister Fowler, Ever since you came across that that thing,
you look.
Speaker 3: At it as if it's some sort of poisonous It's
really a very primitive device, and it gave so many
children in less affluent times a wonderful creative outlet. Hey wait,
wait for children, the creative children? Are they the ones
Zefa and Elifa we're talking about.
Speaker 8: Mister Fowler. You you have to go upstairs to that meeting.
They have been flying for you.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, the the meeting meeting.
Speaker 3: I don't see where there's a reduction in any of
these carspirts, that's right round, you don't. I thought we
agreed that we would cut carto.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think we have to
increase them. You know what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Certainly, I'm the president of this company. I set the policy.
I am not aware that the board has canceled its
commitment to quality. I see, so you want to take
this to the board. Absolutely, you're supposed to be a
hot shot. But how much ability does it take to
sell cheap junk? If you're any good, you should be
able to sell quality. I would like to remind you
that the board has already chosen me over you are.
Speaker 1: Then what are you worried about?
Speaker 6: Indeed, we have no right to take it.
Speaker 15: Will you will make you who.
Speaker 14: It is?
Speaker 1: Will try.
Speaker 14: The children growing up today of his children will say.
Speaker 6: The children, oh world desjoy little time.
Speaker 1: We have to stop. Do you hear, miss Hastings?
Speaker 8: We have to stop, mister fowl right, don't understand you?
Speaker 3: Well, what are you saying?
Speaker 1: We have to stop?
Speaker 6: Stop?
Speaker 3: Stop destroying the world, Miss Hastings, tell Arthur Davis.
Speaker 1: I must see him in my office, fy away.
Speaker 3: I want you to contact the science editors and writers
of all the newspapers, magazines and wire services. What for?
Speaker 1: What for I inviting to hold a press conference? That's
what's for?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Well what.
Speaker 3: No, I hadn't cleared it with Ron, and I don't
intend to clear it with Rob. Now you just get
these guys to meet with me, say, Tuesday morning. You'd
have to tell me why, and I'd have to I

Speaker 1: Arthur, I'm asking you to do this for me, please,
Bert run calls the shots.
Speaker 3: You know that, sure, yes, sure, okay, okay, Arthur.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I asked.
Speaker 3: Look, Bert, I am on your side, but you understand
my position absolutely, and so why don't you leave before
we both burst into tears? Yes, sir, Miss Hastings, call
the scientific editors of all the newspapers, magazines, networks, wire
services and tell them I'm having.
Speaker 1: A press conference on Tuesday morning at ten.
Speaker 8: Oh but that's mister Davis's job.
Speaker 1: I know, but he needs some help.
Speaker 3: A disease.
Speaker 14: I beg you wait every day I do further. Damn
it great?
Speaker 15: Great, have a no sorrier destruction. We will be too late.
Speaker 6: Just a little more time, all time.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: What I have just played back for you, ladies and
gentlemen is the tape recording of voices that were picked
up on this old crystal detector.
Speaker 1: The message is clear. The world is in danger.
Speaker 3: It will be taken over by another race or kind,
or call it what you will unless no way, Please
don't go listen. Listen to me, Please listen.
Speaker 1: There's almost no time left. We're running out of time.
Speaker 3: They don't believe me, miss Scenes, they don't believe me.
Speaker 1: Well do you believe him?
Speaker 3: The air of the night is filled with voices, and
not all of them are heard by everyone. It is
said that some men hear the rhythm of a different drummer.
Speaker 1: What about the rest of us?
Speaker 3: If we do not hear that drummer, does that mean
he doesn't exist? Right now, all.
Speaker 1: We're sure of is this.
Speaker 3: You exist, and I exist, and I shall return in
just a few moments with at three. And there are times.
Speaker 16: When we like rolling, when the whole stand and die.
Speaker 7: And you know just where you go away, and you
know you.
Speaker 3: Riden lie, when the rest of the world is lie,
you lie, You're bred.
Speaker 7: There all the time.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of free spirit. That's your buick dealers.
If you're thinking.
Speaker 3: About a new car, he has lots of bright, shiny,
free spirited buicks for you to choose from.
Speaker 1: If you're thinking used car, your buick dealer.
Speaker 3: Has a good selection of those two. If you want
to check up for your present viewick, but it gets
your car in shape for a trip. His service department
has everything that takes free spirit.
Speaker 1: That's your buiche dealer. It's part of every deal.
Speaker 3: While the who knows how to help you solve your
shopping your Sublims.
Speaker 1: You're Beta Business, your.
Speaker 3: Own Sam's third private investigator.
Speaker 8: Oh Sam, I'm.
Speaker 7: So glad you called you.
Speaker 1: Sound rattled, Angel.
Speaker 8: I'm friendly Sam. I went to buy the carpet for
the office and I got so confused. There's too many kinds.
Speaker 9: I didn't know what to ask over to buy.
Speaker 7: You you old lady Mercy, who are you?
Speaker 1: I'm the man from the Better Business Bureau.
Speaker 3: Now, when you're choosing carpet, make sure you pick a
long wearing one that will go with your walls, draperies
and upholstery. Beware of so called fantastic bargains and don't
buy a carpet that isn't labeled as the fiber content.
Speaker 8: Oh Sam, Now I know what to look for and
ask before I buy a carpet.
Speaker 3: You floor me Angel, just another helpful chip for your fellow,
easy going, amiable Birt Fowler is suddenly cast or he
seems to have cast himself in the role of a prophet.
Speaker 1: Of doom, a role.
Speaker 3: That is certainly alien to his nature, but one that
he seems powerless to reject. Profits of doom historically don't
do very well. Indeed, most of them come to a
rather unfortunate end. Is this the fate that awaits our
Burke Fowler?
Speaker 8: Gentlemen?
Speaker 3: This meeting was called originally to acquaint this board with
some fundamental policy differences between Burt Foller and me, but
that is insignificant now. Anyone who has read the papers,
who has seen or heard the news broadcasts, is aware
of the fact that Burt Follower has made this company
a laughing stock. You had no right to call a
press com tentleman Telement.
Speaker 1: Please listen to me. We must put a stop to this,
a stop to watch.
Speaker 3: Put a stop to this exclusive pursuit of our own
private interests. And what does that mean, Burke, we are
in danger of what a running out of time to
save ourselves.
Speaker 7: From home.
Speaker 5: From home.
Speaker 1: It's here. You can hear it on this crystal detector. Bert.
Speaker 3: All of us have tramped on those earphones.
Speaker 1: All of us have humor.
Speaker 3: For voices are there.
Speaker 1: The voices are clear, and so I.
Speaker 3: Can only conclude that you do not wish to hear them. Gentlemen,
I recommend we relieve Bird of his Judy's as chief
of engineering and design and retire him on his very
generous and listen, we have to devote ourselves to peace,
to the better w welect you're out of order. Now,
why don't you do leave quiet? Your hands on me
for your own time. I'm only take you.
Speaker 1: That's so good, mister Faller.
Speaker 3: I don't know what came over me, Doctor her a
fine cruisader of a pace. You turned out to be
Hitsli the first guy who disagrees with you?
Speaker 1: Doctor, What am I doing here in this hospital?
Speaker 3: Well, you're going to be observed?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, this will give you a
chance to law.
Speaker 13: I will write a high sounding report filled with all
kinds of technical statements that no layman could understand.
Speaker 1: No dude, doctors would agree.
Speaker 3: I do hear these voices, of course, then then you
admit they exist.
Speaker 1: I agree that you hear them. Doctor, What am I
going to do face reality? What I hear is real?
Speaker 3: Well, there are many realities. The problem is you have
to get along with the one that's popular. Now, the
voices you hear are your voices, mister Fowler. They remind
you of a happier time. I am not talking about
the news and the music. I mean I mean Zifah
and Alifa oh Aleithan, yes.
Speaker 1: A diz.
Speaker 3: See that's how you see your life. It's completely fouled up.
Speaker 13: It's no wife, no kids, no real fame.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a brilliant potential. It was never realized.
That's how you account for it.
Speaker 1: Bert, I'm on your side. I think the whole thing
is app absolutely wild.
Speaker 3: According to Alifa Zia, the young people of my generation
should have turned things around. I guess I guess we
only made them worse. How about your generation, doctor.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: We make a lot of noise, but we'll get older too.
But doctor, if we do nothing, the world will come
to an end. You want to know what I think.
Speaker 13: I think the world came to an end a long
time ago.
Speaker 8: Welcome home, mister Fowler.
Speaker 1: I thank you, thank you, Miss Hastings.
Speaker 8: The company told me I should stay on and as
your secretary.
Speaker 3: That's one of the bonuses you get at the end
of the rat race, assuming you've.
Speaker 1: Been one of the bigger rats.
Speaker 8: Although I don't know what my duties are.
Speaker 3: Well, you come to the apartment every day at nine
and you're going to put in the full day's work.
Speaker 1: And that is unless you'd rather go get yourself another job.
Speaker 8: Oh no, no, mister Fowley, I'll never leave you. I'll
stay as long as you want.
Speaker 3: Now, the Hastings, all our lives, we've been looking out
for number one.
Speaker 1: You follow us.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, sir, And so despite all the other theories,
that is the basic reason the world has gone to hell.
Speaker 8: You agree, if you say so, mister Fower.
Speaker 1: Yes, people have to start looking beyond themselves. We just
have to do things that will.
Speaker 3: That will turn the world around.
Speaker 8: Ah, yes, mister Fowler.
Speaker 3: This is something that has to begin up the top.
Once the leaders understand what their true mission has to be,
we can save ourselves. I've drawn up a list of
important people. After all, I'm I was somebody myself.
Speaker 8: There's no doubt about that, mister Fower.
Speaker 3: I have worked with people in government, in the military,
and industry, and not just here but also abroad, and
I'm going to put it to these people. Now here's
the list, and I want you to put through some
calls for me.
Speaker 8: I have Admiral Chadwick on the phone, mister Fowler.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, thank you, Miss Hastings the Hello, George, you got
my letter. M Mmm what do you mean? What's the punchline?
But no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm serious. We
all have to unite against this new menace. We have
to change our self centered thinking. I'm not George, but George,
you know I'm not crazy. Hm uh oh sure, oh yes, yes,
we'll We'll get together for lunch one day. All right, bye? Ah, Well,
at least he returned the call.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, mister Fower.
Speaker 1: Who else have you tried?
Speaker 8: Oh, mister Cartwright of National Industries. He always seems to
be in a meeting. M Mister Taylor's out of town.
I I I just can't get anybody. I'll see who
it is.
Speaker 1: Hell's eazy.
Speaker 8: Oh, good morning, mister.
Speaker 3: Davis, right Arthur, is it down you like a drink
U no, no, no, I know, Well what is it?
Speaker 7: Arthur?
Speaker 13: I like to think that we're still friends if you
like to think so about all means. But what you're
doing is well to a person who knows you, it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Oh and what am I doing? You're making a damn
fool of yourself.
Speaker 13: The way you write letters to people, in the way
you call them on the phone, try to waylay them
in the offices. But you you look ridiculous, do I?
But it's tragic to see you ending up like this
in eccentric uer right brain not? And besides a y yes?
W well as the company, h uh, but I've retired,
I'm no longer.
Speaker 1: With the company.
Speaker 3: Your name will always be associated with the company.
Speaker 1: And so what you're doing is a reflection. What do
you suggest I do?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: Enjoy life.
Speaker 3: You're still comparatively young. You have plenty of money, Arthur.
Speaker 1: Of a friend to friend, if you were me, how
would you go about it? Go about what? Go about?
Speaker 3: Getting people to listen? Nobody wants to listen.
Speaker 1: To what you have to say. Bern, I know, but
how can I how can I dramatize my message?
Speaker 3: You just answered your own question dramatize, call attention to yourself.
Speaker 1: Somehow where make people listen? Do something? Yes, oh I
don't know.
Speaker 3: But something that would just spoil all over the front pages.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, yes, yes, thank you, Arthur. But I want
you to know where still friends. Oh it's heartwarming to
hear that author.
Speaker 3: Hey, now, I I wish you'd forget about those those voices.
But how how come Africa? I hear them so so clearly.
Now listen, put the earphones on. I try it, but
I just can't hear.
Speaker 1: Or you don't want to, Miss Hastings, what are you doing?
Speaker 8: Well, I'm typing your letter to the President of the
United States and a copy for the Premier of the
Soviet and the Prime Minister of Chill.
Speaker 3: Just hold up on that for a little while, Miss Hastings.
Miss Hastings, you don't think that I'm crazy?
Speaker 1: Do you have? Oh? No, sir, I'm gonna take the
rest of the day off.
Speaker 3: I I'm thinking of trying a different strategy. Hthur was right,
he said I should try something that would explode all
over the front pages.
Speaker 6: Now what do you mean to Fowler?
Speaker 1: I simply have to make people take me seriously?
Speaker 10: Oh that.
Speaker 17: What?
Speaker 3: Bert you.
Speaker 1: Yes, run, it's me. What are you doing here?
Speaker 8: Oh?

won't get hurt.
Speaker 2: What have you got in that police?
Speaker 1: Uses wiring or explosive? You're crazy? Nobody listen?
Speaker 2: Have you thrown into jail?
Speaker 1: Out of here? I don't want anybody earth out, even you.
This place will go up in thirty second.
Speaker 3: We are a mania by a lie you. Why are
you standing there?
Speaker 1: Because it's my company. I stay with it.
Speaker 8: You're your mind?
Speaker 7: Run for your life?
Speaker 1: How is he this morning? Saysing?
Speaker 8: Seems to be fine after and where's the crystal shut? Oh?
He hasn't asked bart since the I don't think he
even remembers it.
Speaker 13: Oh hello, mister Foller.
Speaker 1: Hello, Oh yes, sir, hello doctor there you're treating you? Okay?
It is fine between you and me? Bert? Uh? Is
uh that what it was all about?
Speaker 13: I mean, you were so completely upset at not being
made president.
Speaker 1: That you.
Speaker 13: Just blew up the company for revenge.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Well, you're lucky
to be alive.
Speaker 13: How you survive that explosion just defies all explanation.
Speaker 1: Uh, she can't explain it these things. Oh that's not
her name.
Speaker 3: No, No, her name is Alifa, Alifa, and she loves me.
Oh you love me, don't you, Alifa?
Speaker 8: Yes, I love you because she loves me.
Speaker 3: That's the reason the world is still ours. She doesn't
want me to be destroyed with everyone else. Oh well,
all right, do you understand, doctor?
Speaker 1: I tried, yes, but no one.
Speaker 3: Wanted to listen, and the world would only last as
long as I live. And afterwards, believe her and Olifa,
we'll take it for their own people.
Speaker 1: Isn't that so Oliva?
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, mister Fowler, that's so well.
Speaker 13: I guess it's up to me to keep.

Speaker 7: Doctor.
Speaker 1: I want to stay with her as long as I
can because I love her. I I always love her.
Let's hope he stays with.
Speaker 3: Her for a long long time. Because if her name
is Alitha, we are all only safe as long as
Bert Fower lives, well, you must admit the end of
the world could happen any time any number of reasons.
Just add Bert Fowler to the list.
Speaker 1: At any rate.

come back in just a few moments. In popular libraries
best selling novel thirty four East, a ceasefire line is
drawn in the Sinai on one Soviet troops on the

shattering climax in thirty four East, the international bestseller now

name on a tombstone. What saved him was Helen Costigan.
She knew what to do because we've taught her life saving.
Speaker 1: That's the whole.
Speaker 3: Business of the American Red Cross. Sometimes we do big
life saving jobs, like sheltering half a million people. Sometimes
they're little, like helping an old lady get to the supermarket.
Life it's worth saving. Give us a hand all right.
The incredibly complex and sophisticated electronic communications of to day
sprang from simple pieces of wire and crystal. The fantastically
complicated jet airplane originated in some pieces of wood cloth
and bicycle wheels. Our age of technology has come into
being within the memory of people who are still alive
to day. It is so new, so strange that we
hardly believe it or understand it.

do with it?
