Said Dillon: "We are forced to conclude that all life belongs to only one kingdom, which in all honesty must be recognized as the kingdom of plants...

In Britain even the Times of London, voice of the established order, endorsed the idea of negotiations to determine "whether there cannot be some limited agreement affecting the type of arms to be stationed in Central Europe," and the conservative Economist followed suit...
