[Homer_J_Simpson]

I did not notice the pastoral letter referred to in the first editorial when I spooled through the 10/3 issue. I might copy it on my next trip to the library for future posting.

It is a bold statement, on the part of a large section of the German people and applicable to all Germans who remember their heroic heritage, that not everything is to be rendered unto Caesar.

Something American statists should keep in mind.

A wholly materialistic civilization could not have produced a Bill of Rights, a Gettysburg Address or great change in custom and law which has so vastly benefited the young, the old and the helpless.

Maybe I should send this to the current NYT as a letter to the editor.

Thank you for another excellent history lesson.
