Stiff upper lip!
Reader comment on item: Letter to the Editor of the Daily Illini

Submitted by Jim Ryan (United States), Dec 9, 2003 at 10:10

Goodness! That you never tire of this toil is nothing short of amazing and pretty close to heroic. It's a crying shame that a staunch defender of America, what is right, and, not least, Islam, should be ceaselessly vilified. That many keep you in their prayers is probably not solace enough. "Rock-ribbed" indeed!

Stiff upper lip. In this case the truth will fully out, though not in this generation, I'm afraid.
