...much fun to discover our own moral defects. It is not so much fun any longer. These people labored under the notion that if we were sufficiently lovable, others would be drawn to us. Our young had so much security in the postwar world that they felt it was the order of nature, that nothing needed to be done to preserve it. It does not work that way. There must be respect, even tinged with fear...

...last week some of them seemed to realize that the Senate was escalating the "crisis" out of proportion. They knew that Church, a longtime liberal and self-declared "friend" of Cuba's Fidel Castro, faces a difficult re-election campaign in conservative Idaho. They also recalled that Church felt he had lost face by endorsing Brown's earlier statement that there appeared to be no significant Soviet troops in Cuba. Whatever his political problems, Church insisted last week that the Soviets were challenging the U.S. Said Church: "I have not suggested that this constitutes the same threat...

Kennedy learned in 1963 when they decided to authorize covert U.S. backing for an army coup against South Viet Nam's President Ngo Dinh Diem, whose anti-Buddhist repressions, they felt, were contributing to the political turmoil of the country and hampering the war effort. Diem was killed in the coup. What followed was a series of military Presidents who were unable to stem the deterioration of the situation...

...like somebody forced kerosene under your skin and every once in a while they set fire to it. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I felt depressed." This description of going cold turkey was voiced last week not by a typical junkie but by Dr.William Thomas of Long Beach, Calif. Like the priest, banker, teacher and housewife who told similar tales at a Senate health subcommittee hearing, the doctor was not addicted to heroin.
