“Beware in time. This is a breed which has changed little in thousands of years. The cave dweller who wielded a stone club and the man who will soon wield an interstellar missile are terribly alike. Earth’s creatures feed upon each other, but this is the only one which kills on a large scale, for pleasure, adventure and even–so perverse is the species–for supposed reasons of morality.”

–From I.F. Stone’s “The Haunted Fifties, 1952-1963” (1963).
