In the sixties I subscribed to Ramparts . . . those magazines were still in my parents’ basement up to a few years ago. Those issues contained some of the best writing of that time and I was hooked on anything written by DH. As the seventies turned into the eighties, I morphed into a conservative. Then one day I read an article by DH and knew the same had happened to him. Radical Son is one of the best of its kind. What DH went through and lost because of his courageous journey is a lesson in greatness. David Horowitz may walk among us, but he is not like us. Mr. Horowitz is an exceptional man, a man of truth, honesty, integrity and courage. He is the kind of human being many of us aspire to be, but rarely ever make it to those heights. The people who are fortunate enough to meet him and do not recognize these qualities, will have missed the experience of knowing they have been in the company of a truly exceptional human being. Thank you DH, for all that you do for us, for our children and for our country.

I just wanted to says thank you for the book, “Radical Son” It was a great read and helped me understand a lot of what happened as reported by a monolithic news media during my childhood in the sixties.

I kind of think of truth as a wall you keep butting into, the wall never moves and the only pain it causes is when you butt up against it. Over time you learn to accept its shelter, if only to relieve the pain of butting up against that immovable wall.

Your statement reminds me of something my dad told me…
Colette, You can’t climb a ladder stepping down….if you miss a rung, you’ll slide back down and have to start over again!….I’m over half way up my ladder in life, and thru faith, just as DH is doing, I am reaching for the sky- I wrote a poem about this for my granddaughters, and in honor of my dad…he died on Oct.2nd of this year….
He’s with our heavenly Father now….RIP

Shalom, Shalom

I can relate to David’s comments about philosophical conflicts and life-changing events. I’ve experienced those things violently and lastingly. I don’t have David’s high intelligence or strength of character, but, like him, I’ve accepted TRUTH along the way when it pounded me in the head. I’m content about that at least. jd

DH,
The open heart leads to an open mind.The conscious person
walks upward from the steps of his past,realizing that we
never stop growing…….if that is what we choose.

The very thought of those early years of riding the ferry across the Hudson River remind me of a time that offerred hope and tranquility, but now, only a fairy tale.
