"Disease is an enemy. It has killed more people than armies" From a
1948 to 1950's radio program on now on The Big Broadcast, WAMU.

"As in wartime, free people have set their minds on a goal, and will
accomplish things not dreamed of before."

I think this is something about the UN when the UN was still a very
great hope for the future.

The first in history to invade a country with instruments of life, not
death....

Live from somewhere, and broadcast on radio, with a lot of static.
Something about removing mosquito-breeding shrubs in the Tigris valley.
Something about dropping seed.
I guess it was a UN operation, but I never heard of it before.
Something about a dan on the Euphrates, to bring irrigation to Iraq...
Was it Iraq yet? Tikrit is mentioned

But I posted because of my first line above. Pretty relevant now, but
some people need reminding.
