Here's Cicero on the sins of William Bennett, who lost $8million gambling in the last decade. Marcus's observations are astute and on-target. My grandfather, long an ardent supporter of Bennett's works, is no doubt spinning in his grave. Bennett has done a grave disservice to those he could have helped with the money, but also to the cause with which he has long been associated. I hope the casual dismissals that I read in this morning's Merc will give way to more serious reflection, for either Mr. Bennett has a very serious problem - psychologically - or he has an ugly, self-serving understanding of the world that belies most of what I had understood him to be saying the last fifteen or twenty years.
