I was against it on two counts. First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon.

It is well for us to pause, to acknowledge our debt to those who paid so large a share of freedom's price.

Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.

Censorship, in my opinion, is a stupid and shallow way of approaching the solution to any problem.
