**Where are those loud voices
That rang through the land in its towns and cities
Of men and women who seek no refuge in gray-flannel-suited anonymity
Or khaki-colored respectability, or chromium-plated mediocrity
Of the inheritors of a million years' struggle
Those are the voices only Freedom can silence!
--exerpts from "Where are the Voices" by Carlos Cortez, 1923-2005
