Particularly heartening are comments made by the founder of the Children's Defense Fund during Stand for Children day in Washington, D.C., in June and presented in more detail in this week's "News & Commentary." At that important rally, which was attended by thousands of people, Marian Wright Edelman said, "it's time to hold ourselves to a higher standard in our homes, in our communities, and in our government at all levels."
