On the day that I left Saturn, one of my fellow prisoners told me that since she had known me; her opinion of “Greens” had fallen even lower than it had been before. This hit me especially hard because she was a womanwhom I deeply respected and also because I had secretly imagined myself to be living life as a “Green” witness among the rebels. She said that when I decided not to speak about my prison experiences because of the risks involved, she was hardly able to speak to me. She condemned me for professing to be a “Green” without having the courage to act like one. It was then that I conceived that I owed itto the members of the camp to speak for them and against Saturnian’s dictatorship. It became clear to me that, whatever the diplomatic or personal repercussions, I had to speak the truth quite openly to those who were prepared to listen. These words, then are written as the final stage of the fulfillment of a pledge* made to the women of Alamet prison on Saturn. These women are now free or livingin exile, but other Saturnians have taken their place. I will write a story of what happened to me in a spirit of love and hope, for my experience has convinced me of the incredible and unconquerable goodness in people.

When the world was still young, according to the Bible, the Tower of Babel rose above the Plain of Shinar, and in it lived the descendents of Noah, all that were left ofthe world’s people after the Flood. The Lord came to them, caused a confusion of tongues, and spread them over the earth. They could then no longer understand each other. The world is no longer young, but its people, still plagued by a confusion of tongues, seem to have just as much difficulty understanding each other. Besides that, the world has grown smaller. A person can now circle the planetearth in 36 hours. Telstar and other communication satellites beam television programs simultaneously to earth’s not-so-far corners. But, how universal is reception of those programs when the people of the earth speak some 3,000 different languages? Many linguists, anthropologists, and other experts feel that the answer to such lack of communication is some kind of international language. It mightbe an artificial language a natural language, or a simplified version of a natural language. But the time is now. Taken from The People’s Almanac, By Irving Wallace
