SAN FRANCISCO -- The question bugs me years after it was asked. At our United Nations office in Bangkok, the puzzled Malaysian economist tossed a newspaper clipping on my desk. “Eight centuries after his death, this man is still honored,” he said. “But even before we’re a year in our graves, you and I will be forgotten.. Why?”
He’d snipped a Herald Tribune column by George Will. Titled “Memories of a Wandering Fire.” It commented on the eight centennial of Francis Bernardone’s death.
