Drift Tube

Famous quotes containing the words drift and/or tube:

    But now they drift on the still water,
    Mysterious, beautiful;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
