Former Ambassador Sol Linowitz at Haverford College in Haverford, Pa.: "There is no security for anyone in a world in which more than half the people live in want or in fear of want. The people of this earth know that there is more to living than disease, hunger, indignity and prejudice, and whether it be in our cities or in other countries, they mean to have their fair share of the earth's bounties.
