I regard the Soviet invasion and the attempted suppression of Afghanistan as a serious violation of international law and an extremely serious threat to world peace.
I've never doubted the long-range policy or the long-range ambitions of the Soviet Union.
No. Neither I nor the American people would support the sending of an American team to Moscow with Soviet invasion troop...
The most important task of world leaders, public and private, is to deter aggression and prevent war.
This in my opinion is the most serious threat to world peace since the Second World War.
I can't predict the early end of that situation.
William O. Douglas breathed the bracing air of freedom.
Justice Douglas loved the outdoors with the same intensity he brought to his love of political liberty.
I am ordering that the flag of our country be flown at halfstaff on all installations of the United States Government.
For all that time, individual freedom in this country had no mightier champion.
William O. Douglas was a lionlike defender of individual liberty.
