Exchanges:
Here’s a recent text exchange with a friend prompted by the 1980 series Bill Moyers did with Mortimer Adler on Adler’s
Six Great Ideas
, which aired on PBS, specifically the episode on Justice, which has appeared here in the past and appears again today, as should every one of the six episodes. It’s that good. Even better, now that PBS is more of a United Nations Heritage Site anymore. The two @@ signs in the first text, he wrote, were autocorrected from “Adler.” I asked him about the quote, but that line had to be eliminated since I mention him by name.

For one who is not a loving student of the unamiable bickerings that clutter the records of early New England, and who does not read them by the gentle light of filial loyalty, it would seem presumptuous to venture into the thorny fields tilled by the Mathers.
He is certain to get well scratched, and not at all certain to retum with any fruit gathered. The rancors of dead partisanships beset him on every side, and the gossip of old wives’ tales fills his ears.
He will encounter many a slanderous hearsay, and the authentic documents to which he would naturally turn are often inaccessible, and always inhospitable. The countless tracts, for the most part inconsequential, that issued in an unbroken stream from the tireless Mather pens, consuming all the italics in the printer’s case, constitute a veritable cheval-de-frise to protect their authors’ literary reputations from any Philistine attack; and behind that bristling barricade they have long bidden defiance to casual invasion. Only a siege can reduce their stronghold and bring them forth into the clear light of day.
