Some people apparently appreciated McCarthy’s work, and I’m told that his style was deliberately chosen by the producers, but I always felt that it made the series seem cheap and cheesy. What I enjoyed of the series was in spite of his work, or especially among the episodes he didn’t score. (The memorable Borg theme, for example, is not McCarthy’s but is the work of Ron Jones.)

SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“A peaceful world is a world in which differences are tolerated, and are not eliminated by violence.” ~ John Foster Dulles
I’m watching “Above and Beyond: NASA’s Journey to Tomorrow” & it occurs to me that when we hear about Earth’s climate warming ‘only’ 1-2 degrees, that’s Centigrade. Americans don’t know centigrade.
Two degrees C is almost 4 degrees F. Any American knows how uncomfortable that is on a thermostat. Maybe we should be discussing global warming in America on terms Americans understand and not be metrically elitist about it.
It’s like we always think about Mars’ gravity being 1/3 Earth’s, and that sounds cool. Then someone pointed out that on the way back, Earth’s gravity is THREE TIMES Mars’! That sounds awful!

SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:“Strong, responsible unions are essential to industrial fair play. Without them the labor bargain is wholly one-sided.

SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“…the people of each State shall choose a number of persons as electors, … who shall assemble within the State, and vote for some fit person as President. Their votes, thus given, are to be transmitted to the seat of the national government, and the person who may happen to have a majority of the whole number of votes will be the President. But as a majority of the votes might not always happen to centre in one man, and as it might be unsafe to permit less than a majority to be conclusive, it is provided that, in such a contingency, the House of Representatives shall select out of the candidates who shall have the five highest number of votes, the man who in their opinion may be best qualified for the office.
The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; – PUBLIUS (aka Alexander Hamilton)

Kennedy quoted these words of Robert Kennedy’s in his eulogy for his brother in 1968.—The New York Times, June 9, 1968, p. 56.
