Round 9: Tossup 20

A speech titled for this concept, which calls it “the necessary, rational end of rational men,” was so loved by Khrushchev that he had it printed in Pravda. Another speech describes a “hard and bitter” form of this concept whose “instruments” have been “far outpaced.” This concept titles a speech given as American University’s commencement address that outlines a “Strategy” of it “for all time.” Walter Reuther urged the creation of a program (*) named for this concept that received support during an impromptu University of Michigan speech. (-5[1])That program named for this concept, which Richard Nixon (-5[1])derided (-5[1])as a “haven for draft dodgers,” was modeled on Operation Crossroads Africa and was first headed by the president’s (10[1])brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver. For 10 points, JFK created a volunteer “Corps” named for what concept? ■END■ (10[4])
