Not very noble times

1 min read

To the editor:

In his inspiring acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize Martin Luther King said, " I think Alfred Nobel would know what I mean when I say that I accept this award in the spirit of a curator of some precious heirloom which he holds in trust for its true owners -- all those to whom beauty is truth and truth beauty -- and in whose eyes the beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold."

Such a contrast to today's ignoble grabber.
