Personally, it is my belief, and I am sure the belief of the majority of servicemen, that the atomic bomb accomplished at the proper moment a complete demoralization of the Japanese and led to ultimate surrender, thus saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of American men who would otherwise have been lost. God grant that we might have had this bomb at the start of the conflict. God grant that this nation have such a weapon as this if & when our enemies feel the time is ripe to strike another blow at Freedom and mankind...
...shot, but the New York Times solemnly reported that the two Ukrainians were "large enough to be mistaken for detectives"; that, of course, explained it.

More than half of this money had been spent (where it was needed most) in nations firmly within the Russian orbit. Yugoslavia received $429 million worth of food, fuel, commodities, industrial supplies and other necessary aid, Czechoslovakia $270 million, Poland...
...Christian confession: 1) the Anglican, Roman and Eastern Catholics, who see the Church as "the great institution established on earth by God to bring men into right relations with Himself and with one another under Him"; 2) the "classical" Protestants, who make the Bible the center of their belief and church life; and 3) the Quakers and other groups who see the church as "the fellowship of the Spirit or the community of the perfect...
