“Tell me what you will of the benefactions of city civilization, of the sweet security of streets-all as part of the natural upgrowth of man towards the high destiny we hear so much of. I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found. If the death exhalations that brood the broad towns in which we so fondly compact ourselves were made visible, we should flee as from a plague. All are more or less sick; there is not a perfectly sane man in San Francisco.” IfsKnowsMenShouldMadeBodyFoundNaturalCitiesDestinyAirStreetsSecuritySweetCivilizationScenePureTravelSickTownsVisibleThriveBroadsSanePlagueSan FranciscoCompact Book:John Muir, in His Own Words: A Book of Quotations Source: John Muir, in His Own Words: A Book of Quotations
“At 2:26 AM on 3 June 1980, Colonel William Odom of the Strategic Air Command alerted National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski that the US nuclear warning system had detected an imminent 220-missile nuclear attack on the US.

Just before Brzezinski was about to wake up President Carter to authorize a counterattack, he was told that the 'attack' was an illusion caused by 'a computer error in the system'.” PresidentAirSecurityComputerIllusionWake UpErrorsNuclearCommandWarningNational SecurityProjectionJuneStrategicMissilesCarterNuclear WarColonelsAdvisorsPresident Carter Author:Stansfield Turner
“Having the security of being in a series week in, week out gives you great flexibility; you can experience with yourself, try a different scene different ways.

“But it is a fallacy, if one is examining the methods by which security can be attained, to start upon the assumption, as so many hon.

“[Her life with Tony Curtis in 1961:] We were beginning the climb to a higher plateau. Acceptance. Recognition. Status. Security.

“[Harvey] Weinstein appointed himself as the arbiter of your family safety. When was the last time his life was in danger, probably choking on a veal chop.
