Making the world safe for democracy

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Numbers have dehumanized us. Over breakfast coffee we read of 40,000 American dead in Vietnam. Instead of vomiting, we reach for the toast. Our morning rush through crowded streets is not to cry murder but to hit that trough before somebody else gobbles our share.

Opening the vault

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum…

Monday, May 16th, 2005
