More from Adlai Stevenson

Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities.

I have no respect for candidates who attempt to dodge any of these great questions.

My fellow-citizens have a right to know my views upon all public questions, and I have nothing to conceal.

In the rush of events, party antagonisms, in the main, soon fade from remembrance.
