. . . We cannot maintain
it half comfortable, half miserable, have confident, half despairing,
half slave to the ancient enemies of mankind, half free in a
liberation of resources undreamed until this day.
No craft, no crew can
travel safely with such vast contradictions. On their resolution
depends the security of us all.
ADLAI STEVENSON
[From
his speech as Ambassador to the UN, July 1965]
