What takes place in the Security Council more closely resembles a mugging than either a political debate or an effort at problem-solving.

They (american press) always blame America first!

When the Soviet Union walked out of arms control negotiations, and refused even to discuss the issues, the San Francisco Democrats didn't blame Soviet intransigence. They blamed the United States.

And I have no doubt that the American people generally believe the world is safer, and that we are safer, when we are stronger

Just as the Russians and the Soviets didn't manage to wipe out languages in Lithuania, neither have they managed to wipe out religion to the extent that we had feared.

In the years just before... during the Carter years, the Soviets regularly violated, if you will, both the spirit and theletter of arms control agreements, I think, that they had negotiated during the period of detente.

Straying off course is not recognized as a capital crime by civilized nations.
