SG	I would not encourage students to study falsehoods and evil but, 
instead, I would direct them to truth and morality. Ginzberg obviously likes 
Nietzche's desire to go "beyond good and evil." This is starting to have the 
same effect in the US as it did earlier in Germany. As Objectivist Leonard 
Peikoff observes in _The Ominous Parallels_, "The moderns reject reason 
'disinterestedly,' with no explicit idea of anything to put in its place, no 
alternative means of knowledge, no formal dogma to preserve or protect." 
	Sophistry is not wisdom.
