Talk is our intention now. And not a bad one if understood as a prelude to change in our national attitude. Change. That is what we must understand, says Author William Manchester, who has written about convulsions in civilization. Wars are fought for the status quo, which never survives. No nation or man has entered a large war with the thinnest idea of the horror of it, or the aftermath, Manchester insists. But maybe this time we have a better notion of what might happen.
