There are all kinds of different forms of public service, but there's no form of public service that can make more difference for more people than partisan political activity.

It's good for people to believe in causes larger than themselves.

The party's got to see itself as being one public service organization in a very competitive field, all of whom are competing for the allegiance and commitment and brains of the next generation. They've got to be big enough to reach out to those groups and say "come on in."

You're never really out of politics.

The reason that the Croats want a state of their own is that they fear being cut into little pieces by the Serbs.

There are a lot of young Canadians who want to be politically active at their college or their university who can't go to the party convention, who can't take part in politics, because they're holding down a job to pay their tuition. These are kids who want to do public service, who want to get involved politically, but their financial situation is precarious.

The wars of the future will be fought by computer technicians and by lawyers and high-altitude specialists, and that may mean war will be increasingly abstract, hard to think about and hard to control.
