Quote of the Day

Fred Allen (1894-1956) was one of the great comedians of the twentieth century, whose sharp wit went along with a keen insight into the American scene. Here's what he recognized about television way back near the birth of the medium:

"Television is a triumph of equipment over
people, and the minds that control it are so
small that you could put them in a gnat's
navel with room left over for two caraway
seeds and an agent's heart."
