All students: Towards the end of our discussion last December 13 and 14, I only greeted you with a generic (and bland) “Merry Christmas.” What I meant to say was, “I wish all of you a meaningful Christmas and a liberating New Year. May the season of joy be the time to reflect on what must be done, not only in defending press freedom but also in upholding civil liberties. The celebration, after all, should not be about the hope of giving, but the giving of hope.”
