The Greatest Generation Needs No Masked Hero
To the editors:
I am indignant. Luke W. M. White ’03 recently stated in “An Artist’s Best Friend” (Opinion, April 2) that “every age needs its Robin Hood.” The generation that Tom Brokaw and others have called the “greatest” needed no such hoodlums. Our grandfathers who fought on the beaches of Dunkirk and Normandy and kept the trust of democracy in the civilized world were beyond the lawlessness and the vandalism that White seems to encourage. He is part and parcel of the beatnik, man-loving-man, pinko plague that has taken to our streets and children. My anger is without bound, even in this age of limits and delimitations. These limits and delimitations are all that separates man from beast, citizen from barbarian, and good from evil. I am fortunate that in this new century we are able to escape the scourges of moral blackness in the American men of past war torn decades.
