After visiting Kykuit (the Rockefeller Home) we went to the local church. The Rockefeller Family had, over the years, donated money and time to the church. And, after the death of the Patriarch, John D Rockefeller the first, had stained glass windows made in his honor. Since he was a Rockefeller, the windows were commissioned to a little know architect, Marc Chagall (!).
This window is the largest and is the story of the Good Samaritan. It is gorgeous!
(From On Tyranny) 2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side.
