Liberalism
I thoroughly appreciated David Savage’s excellent article about U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan (Oct. 1). Too seldom do we have the opportunity to read about the “giants” of our time.
However, there was one sentence which I most hotly must contest. He stated that, “Brennan’s style of liberalism had gone out of fashion.” Never! for the pursuit of freedom and justice for all should never and will never go out of fashion.
Witness China, Hungary, Poland, South Korea, etc. “Liberalism” may at times suffer at the hands of bigots, fools and tyrants but it will always be alive in the minds and hearts of those who love their fellow man, no matter who they may be.
Remember “ Liberte! Egalite! Fraternite !”
