There is a dreadful incongruity between this vision and the state of mind--and behavior--of the radical left on the American campus today. In place of a calm science, "recluse, ascetic, like a nun," not knowing or caring that the world passes "if the truth but come in answer to her prayer," we have people utterly absorbed in the affairs of this passing world...
...took a lot of nerve to advocate the use of pacifiers. After the war, the pacifier (a little plastic disc with a nipple on the end which babies suck to calm their nerves) was out of fashion for obvious reasons.

Johnson, disturbed by the heat and depth of Congress' reaction, set about trying to calm it down. Meeting with key congressional experts on foreign af fairs and atomic energy at the White House, he emphasized the need to take a calm approach and give diplomacy every opportunity to work. And if it did not? Nobody was willing to guess just what would happen...
