Summary

Dennis and Julie lament the degradation of intellect and society. Does it matter if you go to a prestigious university or is it more important that you are intelligent? Having a book collection has gone the way of the dodo, but it’s crucial to be well read. Having hobbies is a sign of being well adjusted. Learning a new language is a great way to broaden your understating of language, history, and the world. Bringing people to the good is a mission both Dennis and Julie believe in, but is it worth covering eye-catching salacious topics to achieve a larger audience? The story of Rev. Kiyoshi Tanimoto after Hiroshima on This is Your Life.
