More from John F. Kennedy

The modern globe is too small, its weapons are too destructive, and its disorders are too contagious to permit any other kind of victory.

Today the United Nations is primarily the protector of the small and the weak, and a safety valve for the strong.

Today we still welcome those winds of change--and we have every reason to believe that our tide is running strong.
