most fortunate youngsters in this troubled world today.
The truth is that there are not many countries left where young
folks have an opportunity to acquire unbiased information, free from
censorship and enslaving propaganda. There are not many countries

wear it as casually as our familiar clothes. To appreciate its real
value we need only compare our way of life with that in many
other countries. The want, the misery, the degradation of human
beings that characterizes them is as alien to us as the languages
they speak.

that and to be grateful for it. Although we can not go back to
classes with them, we can—and should—reflect on the value of oui
freedom and consider how we may best preserve it from destruction
