Can we trade our beer and cigarette money for a performance in Seattle? Philo was an unsung hero that no student today is likely to have heard of.
Sarnoff may have been an ugly, ruthless monster, but his death spelled the end of RCA. Would Armstrong have given us more gifts had he been allowed to? So many years wasted in court, with Armstrong's wife seeing a bittersweet victory after his suicide. We have no more like either one of them today, and with our current political/educational/economic structure, no Great American Genius will likely blossom anytime soon, let alone be encouraged or rewarded. (I'll bet I'll hear a quote from that guy on the tube above before the thread is through).
