Quote of the Day (Max Lerner, on ‘Vested Interests’ and Their Opponents)
“Do not confuse your vested interests with ethics.
Do not identify the enemies of your privilege with the enemies of humanity.” —Russian-born
American journalist, syndicated columnist, and educator Max Lerner (1902-1992),
Actions and Passions: Notes on the Multiple Revolution of Our Time (1949)
