People should be accountable for what they write.
As a graduate student, I spent far too many hours in a dank and darkened room with a TV set and a VCR recording evening news broadcasts.
It struck me that much of what was “predicted” in those broadcasts — a military offensive here, a peace offensive there, passage of legislation— never actually materialized. And no one bothered to mention the failures.
So I’ve resolved to examine all of my columns each year to see what I got right and where I was wrong. CONT.
