It is a responsibility to think not only or our own convenience but of the tragedy of sudden death. It is a responsibility to put away childish things-to make tbe possession and use of firearms a matter undertaken only by serious people who will use them with the restraint and maturity that their dangerous nature deserves-and demands. . . . It is past time that we wipe this stain of violence from our land."

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, be sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and l"t'Sistance." -1966 ~ ..... ~ ~ ~ ~ Q ~ • "Full and informing debate rests upon moderation and mutual indulgence. Men must seek acceptance of their views thru reason, and not thru intimidation; thru argument, and not thru accusa– tion. We are all patriots here. We are all defenders of freedom. We are all Americans. To attack the motives of those who express concern about our present course-to challenge their very right 1o speak freely-is to strike at the foundations of the democratic process which our fellow citizens, even today, are dying in order to protect." -1966 ....
