And that is the reason that long ago, In that island near the sea, I had to turn the tables and eat My ardent Cannibalee — Not really because I was fond of her, But to check her fondness for me.

Page 55 - In the past ten years the number of Bell telephone calls made daily in this country has doubled. The American people do not double their use of anything unless it returns a dollar's worth of value for each dollar spent. A telephone in your home costs only a few cents a day. Yet it brings to your service the use of billions of dollars' worth of property and the efforts of hundreds of thousands of skilled workers.

Neighbors would flock to see them. Children would clamor to touch them. Bolder ones would lift the receiver to hear the magic voice — then hang up suddenly in bewilderment.
