The challenge is to transcend the current dichotomy between those outlets that offer thoughtful but impotent instruction on the one hand and those that provide sensationalism stripped of responsibility on the other."

"This same habitual blindness to spiritual, substantive dimensions of every significant challenge continues to handicap Hollywood."
