This is what I mean when I say proper historical context is needed in order to properly interpret or evaluate. This doesn't excuse anything, it's just an observation that I believe is valid. Times, standards, attitudes, etc. change. As a result, people update themselves, and change. Many of these changes in our society, for the better, came about years after Howard was gone. --Mike
