...BUT DON'T LET PRAGMATISM CROWD OUT PRINCIPLES''Victory of the sensible center'' (Editorials, Nov. 16) is simplistic, making us choose between pragmatism and extremism. Morality, principles, right from wrong, these must never take a backseat to problem solving. Perhaps the Republicans themselves are to blame, with their narrow-mindedness, harshness, and hypocrisies. Or perhaps this is the nature of politics in any decaying society. The real damage is to our young people, who are taught to seek only low aims, practical solutions, and compromise.
