West Point

Thomas Fleming’s story on West Point (April) is a fine one, vividly showing that the Military Academy is a historic treasure house of the nation’s roots and a repository of the nation’s values. Which, in turn, explains why so many Americans travel each year to walk around this hallowed spot. Incidentally, I have placed a copy of the issue prominently in the Superintendent’s home here, with a marker at Fleming’s story.
