The Big White Box is the story of discovering TRUTH. Truth then gives birth to Justice. An accidental experiment in a college laboratory propels a young PhD. candidate into a world of fame and romance. A retired Law Professor and his wife, also a brilliant lawyer, use this remarkable discovery to revolutionize courtroom proceedings in the United States. The search for truth requires only few seconds with this infallible device. But we know from history that all good things do not last forever: Germs become resistant to antibiotics, the internet is a blessing and a curse, democracy can yield to fascism, and discovering truth can be destroyed by unfounded fear.
