"T ruth even unto its innermost parts" is the motto of Brandeis University where I have studied and worked for almost half a century

"T ruth even unto its innermost parts" is the motto of Brandeis University where I have studied and worked for almost half a century. Many people who are willing to believe lies and falsehoods in the realm of politics attempt to teach their children to always tell the truth.
