Thanks, Frank. For pointing us to this brilliant article by Anne Applebaum. I just read it and seem to have succeeded in posting it to by Facebook page where it should be readable. I am struck by her final paragraph I leave anyone who has the bad luck to be in public life at this moment with a final thought from Władysław Bartoszewski, <https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/28/world/europe/wladyslaw-bartoszewski-polish-auschwitz-survivor-who-fought-for-jews-dies-at-93.html> who was a member of the wartime Polish underground, a prisoner of both the Nazis and the Stalinists, and then, finally, the foreign minister in two Polish democratic governments. Late in his life—he lived to be 93—he summed up the philosophy that had guided him through all of these tumultuous political changes. It was not idealism that drove him, or big ideas, he said. It was this: *Warto być przyzwoitym*—“Just try to be decent.” Whether you were decent—that’s what will be remembered.
