I am listening to Studs Terkel on the new Larry Donahue show. He speaks of the wisdom of Einstein, a man who came to us before his time. He speaks of why we need to get beyond bombs. He speaks of taking care of the 2/5's of the planet
that is hopeless and desparate. He speaks of the maladventure of the Vietnam war. He speaks of the free market fall from grace, just like the 20's.
If we were a good and just people, we would look to Stud Terkel as one of our elders, and we would heed his words deeply.
