Amid all the conflict and controversy we experience in this world, how ever much we disagree at the deepest levels of experience, despite our strongest held convictions clashing, mutual love and respect one for another should be our greatest accomplishment.
To mourn the passing of Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith and the untimely death of Yale graduate and National Review founder William F. Buckley is to realize the passing of a Grand Old Generation of Patriots on both sides of the arena.
In like manner, that Daniel Patrick Moynihan no longer is with us, evokes a loss of a Grand Age of thoughtful men and women.
But to recall Will and John as friends, is to see the larger picture of us all being fellow travellers to the grave, as Dickens put it.
May our hearts be knit together in love.
