We are living in the age of speed. A generation ago, a man could travel as fast as a horse could carry him. Then came the automobile, and the speed of travel was increased many times. Then came the airplanes, and men were flying hundreds of miles an hour. Now, a jet can travel faster than the speed of sound. But the question is, "Do we know where we are going?"
