Annotation by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: Greatest events since Christ--printing & discovery of America. Spoken word appeals to passion. New competitions against printing. Appeal to world is through passion and oratory. World fallen before mass psychology portrayed in Antony's speech. Unless we can regain ascendency for written word probable entire civilization will fall. Responsibility is to publishers.
