"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Sometimes we must interfere. . . There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention . . . writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the left and by the right." Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Speech, 1986, Oslo.

Poem for the Day - from childhood, for children-
At the Sea-Side
By Robert Louis StevensonWhen I was down beside the sea/
A wooden spade they gave to me/
To dig the sandy shore./
My holes were empty like a cup./
In every hole the sea came up/
Till it could come no more./
