“If we are to avoid that catastrophe [a nuclear World War III], a system of world order — preferably a system of world government — is mandatory. The proud nations someday will see the light and, for the common good and their own survival, yield up their precious sovereignty, just as America's thirteen colonies did two centuries ago. When we finally come to our senses and establish a world executive and parliament of nations, thanks to the Nuremburg precedent we will already have in place the fundamentals for the third branch of government, the judiciary.” IfsWorldTwoWarLightGovernmentAmericaOrderNationsCommonCenturyProudSurvivalThirdsFundamentalsNuclearSensesThanksWar Of The WorldsBranchesSomedayExecutivesYieldWorld War IiWorld War ICatastropheSovereigntyParliamentColonyWorld OrderCommon GoodThirteenPrecedentJudiciaryWorld GovernmentBranches Of Government Author:Walter Cronkite

“I think we need to find a way to provide people with a reason that the average man on the street can grasp and embrace, that would cause him to move away from the centuries-old idea of the individual and individualism, and move toward a different concept of what it means to be human in a collective society.

“The essence of science is that it is always willing to abandon a given idea, however fundamental it may seem to be, for a better one; the essence of theology is that it holds its truths to be eternal and immutable. To be sure, theology is always yielding a little to the progress of knowledge, and only a Holy Roller in the mountains of Tennessee would dare to preach today what the popes preached in the Thirteenth Century, but this yielding is always done grudgingly, and thus lingers a good while behind the event.” MayLittlesIdeasDoneSeemsTodayScienceReligionGivenBehindsProgressCenturyEventsWillingHolyMountainEternalEssenceFundamentalsDareTheologyAbandonPopeTennessee Book:Minority Report Source: Minority Report

“All of Robert Caro's biographies are exceptional, in part because of Caro's fundamental ambivalence about power. He sees its necessity and use for getting things done, even as he is often repelled by watching power at close range.
