"Sometimes, when you see a guy take a bad spill right before you go down, it makes you think a little," says he. "But once you start on the run, you forget about it.

...word must be said in favor of international tensions and the armaments race I believe that these two conditions are good for the U.S. We are not now about to go to sleep while they exist, and as long as Communism knows we are ready, willing and able to spill blood, American and other, to defend that freedom, it will not be lost to us and our children...
