On Friendship

A friend, working in a Camp Nesher, called me this morning for a story on friendship. He's speaking at Shaloshudis and wanted ideas. I hope I was helpful.

Soon after we hung up I came here to the library. I picked up Forbes and turned to the back page; Thoughts On The Business Of Life. Fatefully, their topic this week is friendship. The two lines that got my attention:

"He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front." - Leonard Louis Levinson

"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."
