This commercial for Nuveen Investments aired during the Super Bowl in 2000.  It imagined a future with major advancements in the struggle against AIDS, cancer, and spinal cord injuries.  That’s right–the late Christopher Reeve makes a touching appearence when he walks onto the stage.  The ad promises “In the future, so many amazing things will happen in the world.”  Though it’s interesting to see what an investment firm envisioned for the first decade of the 2000’s, what’s even more impacting is that we still aren’t there yet.  Support your charities; we can all lend a helping hand in the fight against deadly diseases and injuries and make the world a better and safer place to live in.
