America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud Picture Quote #1

As journalists, we cannot swallow the official line without question. We should challenge almost everything that dictators, presidents and officials say Picture Quote #1

The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. In public affairs, in the rebuilding of civilization, something less dramatic and emotional is needed, namely tolerance Picture Quote #1
