—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.”
