...notable not because of style or flourish, but because it successfully projected into a divided world the universal philosophy of the U.S. It spoke a regard for liberty as well as peace, for justice as well as hope, for freedom as well as security. Thus, in the broad framework of the kind of "true and total peace" the U.S. stands for, the President could set down-as the free world had never set down be fore-the kind of terms which such peace demands from Communism...

...Menace of Momentum. Still in the framework set by foreign policy, the President moved easily to the "inescapable need for economic health and strength if we are to maintain adequate military power and exert leadership for peace in the world." The ultimate economic aims are still a balanced budget, a reduction of taxes, and a checkrein on "the menace of inflation." But "the momentum of past programs' (i.e., Harry Truman's commitments) will delay tax reduction until "we can succeed in bringing the budget under control" (unlikely...
