To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated,
I can only reply: There is... considerable evidence against that contention.

[Television] can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful.
