...technology. The answer, he declared, was not the destruction of machines, but the expansion of man. Man, he said, should look upon himself as part of a great community and develop a hierarchy of loyalties extending from his family, to his own community, to the great community of all mankind. Cynics might look upon this as a sophisticated version of "the power of positive thinking." On the other hand, what alternative is there...
...heavens, religious thinkers are pondering again some of the issues that space travel raises for faith.

The poet who wrote "the proper study of mankind is man" made no great study of himself, whereas Byron was his own biographer and the actor-manager of his own theater in every line he wrote.
