...closing of this historic chapter," Allende said in his final broadcast, "I will pay with my life for the loyalty of the people. And I say to you, they have the strength, but they will fail, because they cannot stop the social process with crimes or with force. History is ours, it is made by the people." Allende, Charles Horman, and more than 50,000 Chileans have paid with their lives for their dream of a better world.

In an earlier speech before the American Bar Association, he described what sounds...
...Dragons of Eden begins with a summary of how and when intelligence developed in various terrestrial species. In detail, Sagan describes the process of natural selection working toward the emergence of the creature Shakespeare called "the paragon of animals." Sagan also explains differences in the structure of the paragon's brain and those of other animals. He offers some idiosyncratic thoughts on why man's neurological legacy makes him behave the way he does...
