transient act

Journalist Bill Moyers, retiring soon, talked about how Robert F. Kennedy planned to have the major tv networks air a two-hour primetime documentary on American poverty if he were elected president. “If the people knew, certainly they would act.”

“I no longer believe that” said Moyers in an interview. “We have so much information. We know what’s wrong. The predicament is:  We don’t do anything about it.”
