If I can envision a road toward the "Better World" -- a world without need of metal detectors and bodyguards -- then I always thought of Sweden as one of the places showing the way. With the memory of Olaf Palme, I have to think that maybe Sweden is looking down that road anxiously and will maybe have to decide that it is too dark to keep walking.


I hope not. If they do I think all hope for the rest of us is lost.
