        _The Magic of Images: Word and Picture in a Media Age_

"In a media age where books are no longer the primary medium for 
information storage and exchange, language must be reclaimed from the 
hucksters and the pedants and imaginatively reinforced. To save 
literature, educators must take command of the pre-rational world of 
images. The only antidote to the magic of images is the magic of words."
