Narrator:
We've run out of history, we're up to - now. So let's take stock, let's add things up, let's take a look at America these last 10 years. Well, we've built the tallest buildings in the world: monuments to business - *big* business. We have long bridges spanning whatever waters we wanted to cross; roads and highways a million miles all over America. Tractors make plowing easy for the farmer, and crops? Say, we had to plow them under once, didn't we? Oil derricks crown the shafts that tap down deep into nature's storehouse. On our own Great Lakes the rich ore is boated off to the mill, and factories drone with the ceaseless hum of industry. We have 137 million people: they speak 30 languages. We have 50,000 alters of all religions. We are still governed by The Constitution. Our Bill of Rights is still working for the people. We have kept faith with the pilgrims, with the signers of the Declaration of Independence, with Washington at Valley Forge, with Lincoln at Gettysburg.
