      our counsel and our aid, we cannot tell. We can only hope that 
      reason will carry the day, and that we will be able in all good 
      faith to help all of those who are in such deep trouble as to

      of our lives, merit as good a one--as deserved a tribute to careers 
      devoted to persistent loyalty to conscience and to God.
