Re “The Haves Must Help the Have-Nots,” Commentary, Feb 3: Nadine Gordimer made her case with great clarity. We must also remember that we, America, are the world’s role model. There’s nothing we can do about it and we can’t change it. With this unique position, we have obligations which we can’t ignore even when there’s a price to pay for meeting them. We can’t always be me most admired and have friends to support us. Yes, it’s sometimes lonely to be a role model, but that’s us.
