Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.

When i was in government, the south african economy was growing at 4.5% - 5%. but then came the global financial crisis of 2008/2009, and so the global economy shrunk. that hit south africa very hard, because then the export markets shrunk, and that includes china, which has become one of the main trade partners with south africa. also, the slowdown in the chinese economy affected south africa. the result was that during that whole period, south africa lost something like a million jobs because of external factors.

The international control commission isn't doing anything, it's never done anything. what good does it do to be on it or not? before opening the embassy in hanoi, i gave it a lot of thought, but it wasn't really a painful decision. american policy in vietnam is what it is, in saigon the situation is anything but normal, and i'm happy to have done what i did.

It is a damned sight easier to start wars than to end them. this truth has been stated for as long and as often as it has been ignored. high time and thank god, we are at least moving toward de-escalation in vietnam. the road to extrication will be long, painful, bitter. but it must be trod. we are so bogged down in vietnam that we cannot respond effectively anywhere else in the world to a military power play except through atomic bombardment.

Senator mcgovern is very sincere when he says that he will try to cut the military budget by 30%. and this is to drive a knife in the heart of israel... jews don't like big military budgets. but it is now an interest of the jews to have a large and powerful military establishment in the united states... american jews who care about the survival of the state of israel have to say, no, we don't want to cut the military budget, it is important to keep that military budget big, so that we can defend israel.

I want that quiet rapture again. i want to feel the same powerful, nameless urge that i used to feel when i turned to my books. the breath of desire that then arose from the coloured backs of the books, shall fill me again, melt the heavy, dead lump of lead that lies somewhere in me and waken again the impatience of the future, the quick joy in the world of thought, it shall bring back again the lost eagerness of my youth. i sit and wait.

This is a powerful message from our government: we will not be intimidated by bombs; we will not be intimidated by poison; this is america, if you're a violent, paranoid lunatic, you must use a gun!

Words alike make the destiny of empires and of individuals. ambition, love, hate, interest, vanity, have words for their engines, and need none more powerful. language is a fifth element - the one by which all the others are swayed.
