Theory and earlier research indicates that the content of the earliest memory recalled is related to the 'life-style' of the individual. Cultural and sex differences have been found to be involved at a significant level The major study reported here confirms earlier reports
and finds, furthermore, that personality as measured by the E. P. Q., in complex interaction with age and sex, may have a significant effect on both the type of earliest important experience and earliest memory reported. 'Neuroticism' responses for early memories are found to be
significantly related to E. P. Q. 'N' scores, but interestingly 'Tenderness' related memories are also similarly related. A group of memories categorized as 'Elation' responses are also found to be significantly related to E. P. Q. 'Extraversion'
scores. Results for important early experiences in general give parallel findings, but with lower significance, except in the case of 'Elation' where there is higher significance, explained possibly by the fact that both conscious and unconscious factors are combining here.

Like Nixon, Kissinger uses the slippery phrase to sell the shoddy. "I believed in the moral significance of my adopted country," he writes, defending his zeal for Nixon's Vietnam policy. Do not all nations, all things human, possess "moral significance"? But Kissinger means to slip by another idea, a moral valuation of American power.

Carter in office quickly learned that his approach endangered too many American interests without visibly weakening tyrannies abroad.
