«To my friends: I am profoundly saddened by what has happened today in the United States, and deeply ashamed of my country. I wish it could be undone, but it cannot. We shall just have to see how the consequences unfold. It strikes me as a great tragedy, and I am particularly saddened for my children, and for all thoughtful young people. Let us just hope that somehow we will pass through these very dark times and eventually reemerge wiser on the far side. -- Yours, Doug.»
