A Legacy of Hope |
|
Hope has been with us since the dawn of mankind. In ancient Greek
mythology, there is a story about Pandora, who was entrusted with a
box containing all of the world's ills. But she is overcome with
curiosity and opens it, releasing those ills into the world. However,
she closed the box again before hope could escape, thereby ensuring
that mankind would always have hope. Ronald Reagan, a past US
President, observes how mankind has used hope throughout the
generations in this month's puzzle. |
