Fragment #17

[1993] I have been thinking about three dreams this week. (1) Martin Luther King Day (January 18) reminded me of his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech thirty years ago. (2) In his inaugural address (January 20), President Clinton referenced his life-long dream to be president. (3) Audrey Hepburn, who died this week (January 21), was rescued by a UNICEF-type effort after WWII (she lost family members in the Holocaust). She was a life-long supporter of UNICEF. When asked if she thought there would ever be a time when UNICEF would not be needed, she responded – “That’s my dream.”
