NEW York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. made "an apology" to graduates of SUNY New Paltz on Sunday that he and his generation weren't able to revolutionize the world. Sounding more radical than any of his Op-Ed columnists, the commencement speaker declared: "When I graduated in 1974, my fellow students and I ended the Vietnam war and ousted President Nixon. OK. OK. That's not quite true. Maybe there were larger forces at play. Either way, we entered the real world committed to making it a better, safer, cleaner, more equal place. We were determined not to repeat the mistakes of our pedecessors. We had seen the horror of war and smelled the stench of government corruption. Our children, we vowed, would never know that. So, well, I am sorry." But wait, there's more. Kingston Daily Freeman reporter Paul Kirby also quotes Sulzberger as saying, "It wasn't supposed to be this way. You weren't supposed to be graduating in an America fighting a misbegotten war in a foreign land. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where we are still fighting for fundamental human rights, be it the rights of immigrants to start a new life, the right of gays to marry, or the rights of women to choose." You get the idea.
