We cannot let those who would try to destabilize the world to interfere with American interests and security.

Most Americans cannot save more than $6,000 a year from depreciating real estate. That's all they can write off against their salary or business profits.

We are, all of us, exploring a world none of us understands...searching for a more immediate, ecstatic, and penetrating mode of living...for the integrity, the courage to be whole, living in relation to one another in the full poetry of existence.
