Eric Sevareid’s address focuses on the relationship between the art of governing and the profession of informing citizens, emphasizing how communication media shape public immediacy and personal political exchange. Philip Meyer’s article evaluates whether social science has truly transformed society, describing a shift toward research practitioners using survey data, computing, and modeling to influence social and political

greater satis-faction and moment than this one.I had never thoughtthat I would one day be welcomed before this ancientbody,that I would climb this hill in this Commonwealth,which become landmarks on the indelible map of the innermind when the schoolboy first opens the book of the greatAmerican story.Here,more than anywhere else,I shouldthink,began the process of welding the Athenians'art of  \ndemocracy with the Romans'science of government.  \nI was a schoolboy on the Dakota prairies where all wasnew and raw and wanted building.At times,as my under-standing increased,I envied those of my generation whowere born in places like this,the old and established places,and had,I thought,only to open their minds and armsand inherit it all,ready made.But I am grateful,now,formy origins.At each stage of the westering impulse Americare-made itself socially and physically from the beginnings,from the log house and the loneliness,the hand axe andthe terrible labors.Something of what your forebears,verylong ago,experienced on these shores of rock,my forebears,not very long ago,experienced on those plains of snowand dust.I understood the Pilgrims and what it meantfor them far sooner than I understood Harvard and itsmeaning.  \nBut there was a precious thing we did not have to build,which we took from you.It came through the few books inthe library off Main Street;it came through the speechesof the occasional Chautauqua lecturer who appeared in theOpera House above the general store;it came throughthe talk of my father at the dinner table.New England,Massachusetts,Boston—the great men,their electrifying,illuminating words,as stirring to us then out there as theymust have been to your ancestors when they were spokenand written here.They formed the invisible environmentin which we lived,the most lasting environment of all.Bythis mysterious alchemy the miracle of Americanism,ofnational union was performed,quietly,in secret as it were,across thousands of miles,the invisible cords stretchinginto every valley and clearing,guiding us,binding us allin the face of the worst that the world and our own worstnature could bring against us.  \nSo it is good to be here,where all seems familiar andreassuring,nothing strange;a place I have,in a sense,in-habited all my life.  \nI am to talk to you about politics and the press,and theirrelationship,the high art of governing men and the profes-sion or the calling,at least,of informing and explaining tomen.  \nI represent what is called electronic journalism,to use aphrase I once coined in one of my less graceful moments.It was,with radio,the function of informing and explain-ing through the ear;and now with television,through bothear and eye.And it has become the most immediate,dra-matic,in some ways the most powerful form of journalism.Certainly,the most personal,as the affectionate letters fromstrangers and ","cbCaioxa48XWjDPB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioxa48XWjDPB","pdf",1985476,28,"English","#
