This is no time, in 1962, for rash talk which strengthens the claims of our adversaries.
November 7th, the day after election, can be, in this State and in this country, a rising sun, and the beginning of a great new day.
This election affects the security, the wellbeing, the opportunities, of everyone in this city or country.
Are we going to say in 1962 that Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman did their job and we're not going to do ours?
