ETHICS IN AMERICA:
Banter with Bill Bennett

Further, I entertain the possibility that, with mankind's ethical and moral heritage taken out of the realm of vague and theoretical concepts, students may be energized to put their own values to work in comprehending and dealing with the crises of their life and times.

William J. Bennett writes: So to both Robert Rosthal and Martha S. Cherkis I would point out that in teaching ethics, and indeed, in many other things today, we are well counseled by Justice Holmes's suggestion, made in another context, that we are more in need of study of the obvious than investigations of the obscure.
