Dr. Helen,
I don’t believe it was Mother Teresa who nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize, but when it did happen, she had already been living in the slums of Calcutta for decades, serving the poorest of the poor; those with nothing to give her in return.
To casually dismiss a lifetime of service and sacrifice, spent mostly in anonymity, because Christopher Hitchins said so, is shallow analysis in the extreme.
What’s in it for the G.I. who throws himself on a grenade to save his buddies? It’s happened in Iraq just as in previous wars. Is it the money? I think not…
Respectfully,
Tom Armstrong
