Thank you, Gary, for clearly articulating what so many of us are feeling. One other observation: as someone who was also at the March for Soviet Jewry, and has participated in demonstrations on behalf of other groups, I was sad to see the uniformly Caucasian complexion of participants last Tuesday.
