Because of new technologies, new wealth, new conditions of domestic life and of international relations, unprecedented criteria and issues are coming up for national decision.

A surprising number of government committees will make important decisions on fundamental matters with less attention than each individual would give to buying a suit.

In a world which is armed to its teeth with nuclear weapons, every quarrel or difference of opinion may lead to violence of a kind quite different from what is possible today.

Only those who are ideologically opposed to military programs think of the defense budget as the first and best place to get resources for social welfare needs.

My guess is that nuclear weapons will be used sometime in the next hundred years, but that their use is much more likely to be small and limited than widespread and unconstrained.

I am against the whole cliche of the moment.

I'm against fashionable thinking.
