Yesterday, instead of losing an
Attorney General for a sole re-
deeming scruple, we lost a sig-
nificant if wondrously erratic
voice for good behavior in gov-
ernment, from whom a transcend-
ing contribution will require
inheritance throughout society.
The inhumane detention of per-
sons, even of incurable hostil-
ity to ourselves, is a tendency
imperfectly resisted, all too
often. The United States, and
all her States, and many muni-
cipalities, schools, rectories,
hospitals, and domestic santu-
aries, do so little to discour-
age this tendency, that it is
almost a non sequitur to pro-
pose acceptance of the bequest
of John McCain. Now here it is.
