| The newspapers, especially those in the East, are amazingly superficial and ... a large number of news gatherers are either cynics at heart or are following the orders and the policies of the owners of their papers. |

| Quote of the moment |
| I believe that to meet the challenge of the next century all human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. It is very old-fashioned to think in terms of my nation, or my country. Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. Large human movements spring from individual initiatives. Thus it is the individual working for the common welfare who makes the difference. |

| Quote of the moment |
| ... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard? |
| ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), First Lady of the United States, author, speaker, and diplomat. As quoted in Eleanor and Franklin, ch. 27, by Joseph P. Lash (1971). Written in 1925; Roosevelt’s husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, would be elected President in 1932 and would serve through the “next war:” World War II. ~ |
