There are better ways we can transform this virulent hatred - by living our ideals the Peace Corps exchange students teachers exporting our music poetry blue jeans.

For a long time I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps.

I want to warn anyone who sees the Peace Corps as an alternative to the draft that life may well be easier at Fort Dix or at apost in Germany than it will be with us.

The Peace Corps would give thousands of young Americans a chance to see at first hand the conditions in remote areas of the world.

In the Peace Corps the volunteer must be a fully developed mature person. He must not join to run abroad or escape problems.

I don't have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.

The Peace Corps is guilty of enthusiasm and a crusading spirit. But we're not apologetic about it.

Any idealist who tries to join the Peace Corps must realize he is not going to change the world overnight.

When I was in the Peace Corps I never made a phone call. I was in Central Africa I didn't make a phone call for two years. I was in Uganda for another four years and I didn't make a phone call. So for six years I didn't make a phone call but I wrote letters I wrote short stories I wrote books.

The Peace Corps is a sort of Howard Johnson's on the main drag into maturity.
