Jonathan Mark is a treasure. His latest effort, “Has The Decade Changed Us?” (Sept. 9], is vintage Mark. Filled with facts, pivoting on surprises and twists, and suffused with moral force. One derives a feeling of strength just in reading what he writes.
The way that Mark tells a story, the brave are truly heroic and the hypocrites are manifestly foppish. In Mark’s hands, the truth always carries a brighter glow than most writers can muster, and falsehood is always wrapped in its much-merited obloquy.
