The most cynical interpretation of history cannot deny that most of our people did care and do care for the common good. Those who hold differently betray ignorance, and I think they invite pity. They invite the thing that has come to so many areas of the earth where, because of cynicism and indifference and falsity to democracy, we see now that saddest of all things in the human story—the epitaph of a vanished freedom. ”
