If You Want Know What Sort Of

I Attended The Public Schools.and I Have Happy Memories And Strong Memories Of Those Days And Good Memories Of The Good Sense And The Decency Of My Friends And My Neighbors.

A Generation Earlier, I Think That Somebody From My Background Probably Would Not Have Felt Fully Comfortable At A College Like Princeton. But, By The Time I Graduated From High School, Things Had Changed.

All Of My Grandparents Came To The United States From Italy During The Early Years Of The 20th Century. I Believe That My Grandparents Came Here To Take Advantage Of The Opportunities Furnished By A Growing Country With An Open Society.

Many People Have Been Positive Influences In My Life. My Parents, Whom I Mentioned, Were The Most Important, But Many Of My Teachers Were Also A Big Help To Me.

I Assume That Those Who Cling To Old Beliefs Will Be Able To Whisper Their Thoughts In The Recesses Of Their Homes, But If They Repeat Those Views In Public, They Will Risk Being Labeled As Bigots And Treated As Such By Governments, Employers, And Schools.
