Not from a library. vii + 146 pages. The National Purpose was a highly influential, five-part public debate and essay symposium jointly sponsored by Life magazine and The New York Times that aimed to address a widespread anxiety that post-war America had become overly materialistic, affluent, and complacent, losing its foundational sense of mission in the face of the escalating Cold War. The series emerged at a critical cultural and political juncture the end of the Eisenhower administration and the dawn of the 1960 presidential campaign. Spurred by massive economic growth, intellectual critiques like John Kenneth Galbraith's The Affluent Society, and Soviet advancements like Sputnik, policymakers and journalists feared Americans were prioritizing personal comfort over national survival. The series sought to explicitly redefine the country's collective goals. The symposium featured ten prominent American leaders, intellectuals, and public figures who published long-form essays in the pages of Life and The New York Times. Notable contributors included: Adlai Stevenson: The former Democratic presidential nominee argued that America needed to "extend our vision. to all mankind" rather than retreating into private wealth. David Sarnoff: The head of RCA argued for a aggressive, renewed dedication to democratic traditions specifically tailored to fighting and defeating global Communism. Billy Graham: The famed evangelist diagnosed a "moral and spiritual cancer" in the country, warning that an obsession with personal luxury was robbing citizens of their individual and national character. Walter Lippmann & James Reston: The legendary political commentators argued that the country was stagnant and waiting for a political innovator—asserting that a great nation requires decisive presidential leadership to guide public resolve. Other Authors: The series also featured essays from Archibald MacLeish, John W. Gardner, Clinton Rossiter, John K. Jessup, and defense strategist Albert Wohlstetter.

Kennedy's "New Frontier" campaign, which focused on sacrifice and national renewal.…

The Greeks invented history as a literary genre in the fifth century B.C. The first historians owed much to Homer and adopted his vivid and direct style in narrating historical events. Yet, despite the influence of Homer the birth of history was basically a reaction against mythical accounts of the past. Homer wrote about war and travel in foreign lands, in the distant and mythical past. In contrast, the Greek historians of the fifth century wrote about contemporary or very recent events, where eye witnesses could be interviewed and facts checked.
