(THE NEW YORK TIMES, 28 september 1993)
FIND YOURSELF AMERICA. HERE'S WHY.
Hamilton, Madison, Jay, and the "Federalist Papers." Jefferson and a
libertarian and republican society. Lincoln and the supremacy of the law.
But there was also the environmentalism of Emerson and his
transcendentalists, the civil disobedience of Thoreau, and Paine's "Common
Sense." And then there was the Frenchman Lafayette, who could have given
France and the rest of Europe the chance to carry out an American-style
liberal revolution, but failed to do so and the French Revolution became
Jacobin, paving the way for Bonapartism and, later, the Russian Revolution.
Along with Kennedy's new frontier, Martin Luther King's "dream", and the
international solidarity offered by the Plan of General Marshall. All this
is "America" for many of us: the America we love. The same land for which
tens of millions of Europeans departed, weighed down by poverty but full of
hope. They were our forefathers, our parents, and they were welcomed by
America to become her children.
Today, those great names belong to another era. To the future, we hope.
Otherwise, there will be no future for civilization, and the ten billion
people who live on this planet. It also depends on us.
