Be Kind To An Old

To Say That We Are Closer To Victory Today Is To Believe In The Face Of The Evidence, The Optimists Who Have Been Wrong In The Past. To Say That We Are Mired In Stalemate Seems The Only Realistic, Yet Unsatisfactory, Conclusion. It Is Increasingly Clear To This Reporter That The Only Rational Way Out Then Will Be To Negotiate, Not As Victors, But As An Honorable People Who Lived Up To Their Pledge To Defend Democracy, And Did The Best They Could.

We Cannot Defer This Responsibility To Posterity. Time Will Not Wait.

I Sort Of Think In A Way That Many Of Us Young Reporters Who Had The Opportunity To Go Overseas For Our Organizations Were Kind Of, In A Sense, War Profiteers. We Were Enhancing Our Careers While Covering That Terrible Conflict.

The Ruling Class Is The Rich. . . . And Those People Are So Able To Manipulate Our Democracy That They Really Control The Democracy.

Never Before Probably Has The Need For Interfaith Commitment Been Nearly As Great As It Is At This Very Moment.
