Twilight Struggle

Share via

The “long twilight struggle” of which John Kennedy spoke in his inaugural address was not the Cold War, as Edwin Yoder implies (“The Republic Survives High Crimes and Errors,” Op-Ed Page, July 7). It was, in Kennedy’s words:

“A long twilight struggle, year in, and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation--a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

“Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can secure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?”
