Abstract :
DR. ZWORYKIN came to the United States from across the seas in 1919. Five years later — the required minimum established by our government — he became an American citizen. He landed in this country with small financial assets, but with exceptional knowledge, energy, and attributes — all of which he placed at the disposal of his adopted land. His great love was television, and he worked tirelessly toward the goal of an all-electronic system that some day would prove to be the world´s greatest means of mass communication, education, and entertainment.
