36. CRIME AND SENSATIONALISM
“Roads and bridges are necessary and they may be
the underpinning of the economy. But we submit, Mr.
President, that they are not the foundations of a
human community. Man needs more than rice and
roads. Above all things, the human community needs
justice and the trust that flows from it.
For justice, which is the foundation of peace, has
denied to our people. In its stead is privilege…
With each passing day, the danger and the threats
the present state of affairs carry, increase…
The power and the facilities to carve order out of
the current disorder are in your hands, Mr. President.
You alone can apply them.”
