The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

With film, you wouldn't know until you got the prints back if something was messed up, and then there was nothing you could do. That was a huge advantage.”
