There Is A Sense Of Feeling Larger Than Your Own Life When You're In Some Common Mission Together. You Have To Hope It's Not Going To Take A War To Bring That Back To America Again. I Think Another Time When It Seemed To Be Here Was In The Early 1960s.

That's Probably More Important Than Success In Any One Of Those Spheres Alone.
