LAST WORDS - I believe that one of the greatest dangers to modern society is the possible resurgence and expansion of the ideas of thought control, such as Hitler had, or Stalin in his time, or the Catholic religion in the Middle Ages, or the Chinese today. I think that one of the greatest dangers is that this shall increase until it encompasses all of the world. (Richard P. Feynman in a 1964 speech at the Galileo Symposium in Italy).
