I believe television is going to be the test of the modern world, and that in this new opportunity to see beyond the range of our vision we shall discover either a new and unbearable disturbance of the general peace or a saving radiance in the sky.

In riding to and from his wife;
A man who shaves and takes a train
And then rides back to shave again.
