Yet Optimism Is In Order, Because Day By Day Democracy Is Proving Itself To Be A Not-at-all-fragile Flower. From Stettin On The Baltic To Varna On The Black Sea, The Regimes Planted By Totalitarianism Have Had More Than 30 Years To Establish Their Legitimacy.

I Received A Letter Just Before I Left Office From A Man. I Don't Know Why He Chose To Write It, But I'm Glad He Did. He Wrote That You Can Go To Live In France, But You Can't Become A Frenchman. You Can Go To Live In Germany Or Italy, But You Can't Become A German, An Italian. He Went Through Turkey, Greece, Japan And Other Countries. But He Said Anyone, From Any Corner Of The World, Can Come To Live In The United States And Become An American.
