There is no way in which a country can satisfy the craving for absolute security - but it can bankrupt itself, morally and economically, in attempting to reach that illusory goal through arms alone….
Toronto: imprimerie dromadaire, 1984. Single sheet, 21 x 33 cm, printed as an oblong broadside, on the recto only. A fine copy. One of 150 copies designed and printed by Glenn Goluska for the Typocrafters meeting in Washington, D. C., October, 1984. The quoted text, which consists of 85 words, was taken from Eisenhower’s final speech as President (1959), in which he espouses his belief that the pursuit of ‘absolute security’ is quixotic, and warns of the dangers of rampant militarization as a response to fear. Sadly, though not surprisingly, this text was as relevant when it was printed as when it was delivered, and remains as relevant now as when it was printed. Item #147
