Interesting that Our Diarist is speculating on the world of 1958, where the entire world is bound together with railroads, steamships and telegraph wires.

He's probably too much of a hard headed realist to spin fantasies in his mind about a world with commercial air travel, telephony and that newfangled television.

I do remember in the 1960's the TV networks were agog with showing us live TV transmitted by the first commercial communications satellite, Telstar. Live from ______ (London or such) by Telstar!

I wonder what George would think about the global reach of today’s Mormon church, the nationwide success of Catholicism, and the looney toons of his own Trinity Episcopal. Not to mention the Joooos.

Would he have principles different from those of his class?

Wasn't that Huntley on one end and Brinkley on the other?
