Dia-logos, opening-words, seems to take for granted a hope in the existence of objective truth buried in the words of another and a sincere desire to find it. Doesn't really apply to what happened at Notre Dame's commencement, but it sounds really good. The word “Dialogue” seems to be the latest sacrificial victim on the altar of ideological codespeak.

If one had to give an award for an unending dedication to the pro-life cause in a hostile environment, I would unhesitatingly give it to Mr. Hentoff. Nat Hentoff, my favorite liberal atheist!

Also worth examining from the esteemed Dr. Hentoff. Oh might I add that fewer Americano writers have been more insightful on the topic of American Jazz- AKA A Legit Americano Art Form.

His former employer, the usually Marxist Village Voice, recently terminated his 50-year relationship. So gratifying to see he is not mellowing in his golden years. Also gratifying to see that this Support Pregnant Women Bill is sponsored in the Senate by our own PA Senator Bob Casey Jr. No doubt communing with the ghost of Pop who is saying remember the family tradition and support the women and babies. Not surprising that no record exists of Dear Leader's support for the bill- tends to shy away from those messier intramural skirmishes, like supporting La Pelosi from the Intelligence Community's wrath. So bravo to Prof. Dr. Hentoff and ad multos annos and many more years of comforting afflicted and afflicting comfortable. In a word, embarrassing the young sellout whippersnappers holding sway in the MSM these days.
