Brad (my former student) is too young to remember this, so, at the risk of patronizing him, I'd like him to watch it. It has two parts. Watch both parts in their entirety. Then watch this subsequent episode, which is in three parts. At 5:20 of the third part, there are these beautiful words by Alistair Cooke:
In the best of times, our days are numbered anyway. So it would be a crime against nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly, that it put off enjoying those things for which we were designed in the first place: the opportunity to do good work, to enjoy friends, to fall in love, to hit a ball, and to bounce a baby.
Amen.
