Reagan on America
“The fact that it serves that function reflects what it is that we're missing.”
August 31, 1984
“We're a country on the move. We're wed to mobility, and the ties that bind us seem looser. We watch a lot of television, seeking continuity and reassurance in the regular and predictable appearance of our favorite TV stars and programs. They visit us -- as if they were a friend or relative coming by for the evening. TV is increasingly becoming the American neighbor. And the fact that it serves that function reflects what it is that we're missing.”
— Remarks to Chapter Presidents of the Catholic Golden Age Association.
