Yet while the overwhelming majority of Americans share an acute sense of distress at the fact that in two centuries of our national life. some have not yet learned that we are all brothers and sisters in our Nations heritage. we can still see defenders of this administration hirelings assuming attitudes of insensitivity and callousness toward a national tradition of diversity. and a common history of pride in our Nation as a melting pot. Indeed. the remark made privately. and then repeated for the media. harkens back to a strikingly similar comment by a member of the administration. When will these people learn? When will they realize that we are all children of immigrants. that we are one people? And when will they learn that the wounds which pain our people will not be healed by namecalling. character assassination. and gratuitous insult? I do not ask an apology for Senator INOUYEhe has repeatedly shown quite well that he is a man who can take care of himself.
