" "A time traveler from the year 1899 would be continually amazed by our advanced technology—our cars and airplanes, our skyscraper cities, our TV, radio, computers, and communication abilities.

Additional quotes by Leon M. Lederman

And it's incredible humor. 'How could it be any other way? It had to be that way! How could we have been so stupid, not to see this?'
