A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

My "foul language" consisted in explaining to such big names as Bob McNamara, George Ball, Dean Rusk, and many from the U.K., that they had not a single clue concerning a world in which information moved at the speed of light. They were uniformly nineteenth-century minds pretending to relate to the twentieth century.
