Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. "In this volume, the youngest United States Senator presents an approach to national problems that is challenging and new. Instead of concentrating on today, he projects the next ten years of American life.In discussing foreign policy he shows how America can help end the Cold War in Europe, prevent chaos in Latin America, guard against new involvements such as the one in Vietnam and help alleviate the growing conflict between rich and poor nations that could pull the world apart. This book is a challenge to a complacent nation and a stimulating discussion of the questions that trouble America's thoughtful and concerned citizens most deeply." --- Preface by George F.

Edward "Ted" Moore Kennedy was an American politician and lawyer who served as a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts for almost 47 years, from 1962 until his death in 2009. He was the youngest of the four Kennedy brothers - Joe, Jack, Bobby and Ted. When this book was written, Ted Kennedy was the youngest member of the United States Senate and was looking towards a run for President in the 1970s. Inscribed to Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Evans, a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Kay and Rowland Evans had a particularly close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. and his wife Ethel and were also chummy with the rest of the Kennedy family. ; Signed by Author.
