America

We can all agree that our country has a lot of problems. But on days like today it's wise to focus on what's good about our great land. We are a blessed nation. What was true in 1961 is still, in many ways, true today.

The Wall Street Journal has published this editorial annually since 1961.

Anyone whose labors take him into the far reaches of the country, as ours lately have done, is bound to mark how the years have made the land grow fruitful.

This is indeed a big country, a rich country, in a way no array of figures can measure and so in a way past belief of those who have not seen it. Even those who journey through its Northeastern complex, into the Southern lands, across the central plains and to its Western slopes can only glimpse a measure of the bounty of America.
