It is not a stop-the-war prescription, guaranteed to cure the malady of war overnight, nor is it an immediate disarmament plan. The goal of absolute peace can- not be reached at a bound. It never be reached. We seek perfection by approximation.” BJECTIONS TO PROBATING WILL OF AMOS ENO d by Relatives—Residuary Estate. Left to Columbia University.
