In an
August 1952 episode of the Edward R. Murrow program
This I Believe, sci-fi author
Robert Heinlein spoke about his faith in the goodness of his neighbors and others. Said Heinlein, "Our headlines are splashed with crime. Yet for every criminal, there are
ten thousand honest, decent, kindly men. . . . Decency
is not news. It is buried in the obituaries, but it is a force stronger
than crime."
