I recently read a discussion of Solzhenitzsyn (either
by Robert Conquest or Clive James) that said he had
no confidence that truth, in and of itself would propagate
with immense effort. That’s my recollection, the original
was better.
Getting the truth out to the mass of people certainly is an immense effort in our society. However, we have made headway over the last 25 years or so.
