signaled the end of the Cold War. Behind
the patriotic façade of nuclear militarism
he saw the death of his own children and of
all children. In a series of magnificient
addresses, he urged us to reconsider our
attitudes toward peace, the Soviet Union, and
the Cold War. He won a treatyeending atomic
testing above ground and then paused to wait
a little for the more embattled of his cold-
war compatriots to catch up with the times.
"At that moment he was struck down
"Is this to happen again, for the third
and last time? Are we really about to plunge
into another twenty years of escalating period
of the final world war in a self-defeating
effort to control the fringes of China mili-
tarily? Should we not rather join in welcom-
ing the great Chinese people belatedly into
the twentieth century? And, above all, can We
move fast enough really to organize the unity
of mankind while there is still time?"
In seeking to keep the path of peace open, President Kennedy
had reminded us of the ancient Chinese proverb, that a journey
of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. President
Kennedy took that little single step, particularly with the
Test Pan Treaty, synfolizing the failure of the Cold War in Europe,
but then he was shot dead.
What Johnson Says and What the Military Does
President Johnson said, "To the protestation and enlargement
of this new hope for peace I pledge my country, and its government.
