Synopsis
Excerpt from The Miracle of Television
Television might still BE only a scientist's dream if it had not rained in Paris one memorable night in 1896.
Returning home from the theater late in the evening, Professor and Madame Curie stopped at their laboratory to pick up an umbrella. AS Madame Curie knew just where it had been left, She entered the laboratory, without turning on the lights.
Suddenly she stopped in astonishment. From one of the many glass jars on the shelves came a strange white light, illuminating everything around it. She gazed upon this weird phenomenon with awe, feeling as Moses must have felt when he beheld the bush burning with fire, and the bush was not con sumed.
