Editor: You deserve praise. Your March 3 issue contains two remarkable columns. Joan Huguenard’s “One Palestinian’s Odyssey” describes those civilizing values that were at the root of our nation’s founding – broad education and egalitarian self-governance leading to “the development of a worldview grounded in principles of nonviolence, democracy, and equal rights” – growing in a very difficult environment: prison. It gives one hope. Larry Barnett’s “Democracy of Make-Believe,” a very concise and accurate description of the powers that move current events, reminds us that what TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines pass off as news and analysis is basically a shallow, mildly entertaining distraction from what’s actually going on.
