A World Split Apart: Solzhenitsyn Still Speaks

The absence of civic courage is a dangerous thing in free society. We cannot give way to the temptation to see our freedom as permission for the individual to pursue their own whims apart from higher purpose. We must want the best we can muster for ourselves, our children, our country, and. the human race. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn gave the commencement address at Harvard in 1978. It was entitled A World Split Apart. And although it is over 40 years old, it is timeless in its potency. We would do well to reacquaint ourselves with him and his works.
