Contrasts .
Continued from Page 4
The creatures and creators of Reagano
mics counted on our ability to walk
around the bodies. They have assumed
that those of us with jobs, those of us
who have "slipped" only' as far as shop
ping at sales and juggling bills will quietly
count our blessings and not notice that
others have missed their dinner.
But we are not comfortable living
cliches. There is something primal about
Wimpdom
Continued from Page 4
What we need today is some politician,
administrator. ASUN leader, janitor, any
body, to swallow hard and do that gut
wrenching, heart-tugging, eye-watering
blasphemy: stand ramrod straight, get
everyone's attention, claim at the top of
their voice that the pursuit of human
dignity, quality education and an im
proved public welfare is top priority, and
never alter that course.
On the other hand, you can tell when a
wimp is speaking: his spine goes rubbery,
feeding. There is nothing like hunger to
sharpen the senses, and the consciences.
My own file has a collection of the
gaps between haves and have-nots. But
in real life, poverty isn't a gap. It's a
sinkhole. Untended, the ground will col
lapse under a wider and wider number
of people. We know the sound it makes.,
a noise as ominous as tiie rumbling of an
empty stomach.
(C) 1933, Washington Post Writers Group
his posture is terrible, his upper lip sweats.
Conservative wimps also will never recog
nize that there is such a thing as social
responsibility, while a liberal wimp con
veniently forgets.
We're paying a surcharge because of
these wimps; we've had to assume the
responsibility. If we don't start recogni
zing wimps and getting rid of them, we
can kiss our collective self-respect good
bye. In a society that calls an ace an ace
and a spud a spud, we must, above all,
call a wimp a wimp.
