The people\'s instincts are still right. You see them come to the rescue of someone-a child who falls down a well-hundreds of people rush to help, and labor and equipment are volunteered without any thought of who\'s going to pay for it. This is a basic feeling in Americans. They don\'t stand back in such a circumstance and ask what the government\'s going to do about it.

The same technology transforming our lives can solve the greatest problem of the 20th century.
