In the 1966 movie, A Man for All Seasons, Thomas More says to Cardinal Wolsey, “When statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties, they lead their country by the short route to chaos.”

Who is the new Wolsey?





​Wolsey
Unidentified painter, 1585-1596, painting in the collection of Trinity College. This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: {{PD-US}} – U.S. work that is in the public domain in the U.S. for an unspecified reason, but presumably because it was published in the U.S. before 1927.

“God made the angels to show Him splendor, as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But Man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of his mind.”  - More

If I learned one thing from the Jesuits, it was the ability to work around the truth, in the tangle of my mind, without telling lies, or forsaking my own conscience. My brother, Tom, was the wittiest man I ever knew. I think he learned the same thing, only better. He was the real writer in the family.

A dear friend wrote me yesterday, “Stupid cannot be fixed or cured.” For months I have been encouraging her to switch careers, but writing doesn’t pay, unless you are famous and have no writing skills whatsoever.
