But he has come to the point where he is not afraid of violence. He no longer shrinks back. He will assert himself, and if violence comes, so be it." Since Wilkins' sympathies are well known, his speech was not entirely surprising. Much more remarkable was the burst of applause he got from his audience-composed of 127 white police officers, most of them from the segregated South...
...Chronicler Lawrence Lipton needled the Kennedys as a "press-made image of America's royal family." That went nowhere, man, so Author Aldous Huxley, 68, posed a quaint 20th century dilemma: "What should poets do about nightingales"-now that ornithologists have shown that the nightingale sings mainly to assert that he has "staked out his territory"?

(1944) I am convinced that if France took the initiative to summon Europe to organize itself, in particular with German help, the whole European atmosphere from the Atlantic to the Urals would be changed...
...directs the attention of private individuals, but even more of private philanthropic welfare foundations, back to the world of medicine, and especially to the world of medical education, where, if anywhere, the practitioners, research workers and teachers of medicine for the future must be found. It seeks to assert that in an institution like the Harvard Medical School it is necessary to have a strong network of full-time appointees who are not beholden for their support to the Federal Government, or to anyone other than the university itself; who must be free to direct their own activities...
