My late mother was in Peking when student mobs smashed statues. She told me about the demented atmosphere of those days, the way respectable people cowered before rioters. I could never quite picture it. Until now. pic.twitter.com/UQiz3ihM6Y— Daniel Hannan (@DanielJHannan) July 4, 2020
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
