"The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped."

-- Hubert H. Humphrey, from his last speech, Washington DC, November 1, 1977.
