We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.

I have said, and I believe, that potentially we have in this country a free enterprise system of radio and television which is superior to any other. But to achieve its promise, it must be both free and enterprising. There is no suggestion here that networks or individual stations should operate as philanthropies. But I can find nothing in the Bill of Rights or in the Communications Act which says that they must increase their net profits each year, lest the Republic collapse.

Don't be deluded into believing that the titular heads of the networks control what appears on their networks. They all have better taste.

Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit.

All I can hope to teach my son is to tell the truth and fear no man.

The real crucial link in the international exchange is the last three feet, which is bridged by personal contact, one person talking to another.

To be credible we must be truthful.
