Newscopy: "Young America today, and for many years hence, may beam upon the Marconi memorial bench with pride and wonderment, as does Lunence Lapera, above. The plaque's Latin inscription, 'Fulgura Praevertens Vacuam Vox Permeat Aethram,' literally translated, means 'Outstripping the lighting, the voice races through the clear, empty sky.' This is a tribute to the man whose bronze profile faces out upon the Golden Gate, through which ply vessels whose crackling wireless sets bear testimony to the honored man--Senator Marconi--whose genius made it possible for vessels to give ad receive information over the seven seas."
