Beyond this great chamber-out yonder-in 50 states are the people that we serve. Who can tell what deep and unspoken hopes are in their hearts tonight as they sit there and listen? We can all guess, from our own lives, how difficult they often find their own pursuit of happiness; how many problems each little family has. They look most of all to themselves for their future, but I think that they also look to each...
...Pursuit. Johnson had originally scheduled the air attacks for Feb. 19. But in Viet Nam the weather and the political climate are both uncertain, and coups or clouds kept getting in the way. Finally 19 propeller-driven South Vietnamese Skyraiders and 20 U.S. Air Force Super Sabres took off from Danang and headed for the North Vietnamese torpedo-boat base at Quangkhe, 65 miles north of the 17th parallel.

To refute the U.S. ambassador's excuses, it must be pointed out that the T-28's and B-47's that were used are U.S. made, financed, and controlled. They are flown by Cuban mercenaries in U.S. employment. No Congolese are capable of flying a fighter plane...
...Winston E. Kock told the Cambridge City Council that "proximity to Harvard and M.I.T. enables recruitment by the center of recent bachelor's degree recipients who wish to continue their education in pursuit of master's and doctoral degrees. [They can] walk to classes at M.I.T. or ride to the Harvard campus in only two subway stops...
