To the Editor:
I recently encountered a friend in the Regulator Bookstore who had just sent his son off to college. He told me a revealing story. "I have always told my children that it is better to fail than to lie or cheat. Imagine my surprise when looking through an old college diary, I realized that I had both lied and cheated on more than one occasion, and what most surprised me was that I had absolutely no memory of having done so." I think almost every parent has found him or herself caught in similar embarrassing contradictions, even though few of us have the strength to admit it.
