We Cannot Defend Freedom Abroad By Deserting

Our Major Obligation Is Not To Mistake Slogans For Solutions.

I Have Said, And I Believe, That Potentially We Have In This Country A Free Enterprise System Of Radio And Television Which Is Superior To Any Other. But To Achieve Its Promise, It Must Be Both Free And Enterprising. There Is No Suggestion Here That Networks Or Individual Stations Should Operate As Philanthropies. But I Can Find Nothing In The Bill Of Rights Or In The Communications Act Which Says That They Must Increase Their Net Profits Each Year, Lest The Republic Collapse.

Our History Will Be What We Make Of It. If We Go On As We Are, Then History Will Take Its Revenge And Retribution Will Not Limp In Catching Up With Us. So, Just Once In A While Let Us Exhault The Importance Of Ideas And Information.

If None Of Us Ever Read A Book That Was "dangerous," Had A Friend Who Was "different," Or Joined An Organization That Advocated "change," We Would All Be The Kind Of People Joe Mccarthy Wants.

We Will Not Be Driven By Fear Into An Age Of Unreason.
