The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents. It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community.

There is something more important than any ultimate weapon. That is the ultimate position-the position of total control over Earth that lies somewhere out in space.
