It Might Work

Memphis, Tenn., Press-Scimitar: "The secret of A.A.'s success is that they bring religion out of the clouds and put it to work on earth. They never fool themselves or let others fool them. They look facts in the face. But they never give up hope. If they fail, they pick themselves up and help the other fellow up. They plug in on a higher power. Is this just for alcoholics? Why not apply the A.A. technique to other needs? Why shouldn't men who aren't alcoholics form similar groups cutting across denominations in order to achieve the goals which all religions, Protestant, Catholic and Jew, have in common; to help each other to be good and do good; to bring harmony in labor-management relations, decency and honor in politics--even prevent war?"
