And only an America which is growing and prospering economically can sustain the worldwide defenses of freedom, while demonstrating to all concerned the opportunities of our system and society.” WorldShouldProblemHomeAmericaChoicesOpportunityNationsSocialJusticePracticeClearGrowingRightsDangerCitizensEqualCapableConcernedStrongerSocial JusticeComplexesDefenseEducatedOur FutureEqual RightsDemonstratingTacklingComplex ProblemsProspering Author:John F.
