Of course the millenium started in January 2001. However, even knowing
it, one could very well celebrate it. Because what truely excited people
was not being in the third millenium, but that *four* digits changed in

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists and will persist.
