Truth
Churchill: truth is very valuable. It is so valuable that often times it is protected by a bodyguard of lies.
Fact from Opinion or Opinion ftom Fact?
Often times we seay academically into points of opinion away from points of fact.

George Will and the Virtues of Hedging
One has to give it to anti-Trump George Will. His June 8 (just before historic Singapore summit) essay under the title “Trump can’t ask North Korea and Iran to become vegetarians” is just ambiguous enough to have relevance whether the Trump-Kim summit is successful or not. If the summit is successful one could interpret Will’s essay as commending Trump (unlikely Will’s objective). If the summit is not successful the essay could be interpreted by some as some piece of academic intellect. It is interesting to see how the so called intellectual elites either hedge or deny.
