Great leaders arise in times of great need. Phil was one of those great leaders for me and many of my contemporaries. May there be a score of others to rise and take his place in these times of increasing need.

The fact that I did not know the extent of his recent work shows where the bais of the mass media lies. But it also shows that my attention to these important issues and my committment to searching out the relevant news has weakened recently. I will recommit myself to learning more and acting more for justice and peace.

May the sod lie lightly . . . .
