SIDELIGHTS:

Wayne R. Dynes told CA: "In the present intellectual climate of relativism and nihilism, I remain a rationalist, committed to weighing and improving ideas, always comparing them with empirical data, so that human knowledge, which is a unity, may advance ever closer to the truth. Only this unceasing quest for truth can establish a firm foundation for social justice."
