Paul B: thanks for your comments about Hill in [8538]. > Life goes fast Indeed, it does but I like this story from _The Guardian_ article about Marx: > Hill once gave a radio talk marking the centenary of the publication of > Das Kapital. He ended it by telling how, in old age, Marx had bumped > into a fellow revolutionary from the 1848 barricades, now prosperous > and complacent. The acquaintance reflected that, as one got > older, one became less radical and less political. "Do you?" Marx > replied. "Do you? Well, I do not!" I'm with Marx on this point. Indeed, I even think that engaging in struggle often makes one feel young(er) again. For instance, I felt on February 15 like I had re-discovered the fountain of youth! A question: does anyone know the original source for this story about Marx? Solidarity, Jerry
