Well, we might as well
go down swinging.

1:21:16
Did you know the most trusted man
in America is Milton Berle?

1:21:19
See, you should have worn a dress!
1:21:22
- Howd does a Scotch sound?
- Scotch sounds good.

1:21:26
- Did you know Joe and Shirley
were married? - Sure.

1:21:28
- Did everyone know?
- Pretty much.

1:21:30
We are proud because
from the beginning of this nation...

1:21:33
...man can walk upright.
1:21:37
No matter who he is
or who she is.

1:21:40
He can walk upright
and meet his friend or his enemy.

1:21:45
And he does not fear
that because that enemy...

1:21:49
...may be in a position
of great power...

1:21:52
...that he can be suddenly
thrown in jail...

1:21:58
...to rott here without charges
and with no recourse to justice.

1:22:03
We have the Habeas Corpus Act
and we respect it.

1:22:07
I began by saying that our history
will be what we makeit.

1:22:11
If we go on as we are...
1:22:12
...then history will take its revenge,
and retribution will not limp...

1:22:16
...in catching up with us.
1:22:19
Just once in a while, let us exalt the
importance of ideas and information.

1:22:24
Let us dream to the extent of saying
that on a given Sunday night...

1:22:27
...the time normally
occupied by Ed Sullivan...

1:22:30
...is given over to a clinical survey
on the state of American education.

1:22:33
And a week or two later, the time
normally used by Steve Allen...

1:22:37
...is devoted to a thorough-going study
of American policy in the Middle East.

1:22:42
Would the corporate image of their
respective sponsors be damaged?

1:22:45
Would the shareholders rise up
in their wrath and complain?

1:22:49
Would anything happen...
1:22:50
...other than a few million people would
have received a little illumination...

1:22:54
...on subjects that may well determine
the future of this country...

1:22:57
...and therefore the future
of the corporations?
