The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

3 Minutes and 30 Seconds
Okay it might be 4 minutes because you’ll have to listen to the corporate propaganda that pays for it all. But I think this short clip from Fareed Zakaria’s Global Public Square has more truth in it than most other hour-long shows. Pay particular attention when he says, “The truth is...”. You might not like it, but it sounds like the truth to me.
