weakness: He spoke slowly and
haltingly with long pauses between
phrases and toward the end his
tired voice broke, choking sobs.
But, Ill and weak, ne spoke for 20
minutes instead of the few to
which his physician hoped he
would restrict himself.
He exhorted the world to return
to peace, and to reestablish peace
