Another anniversary

It's also the 40th anniversary of the death of C. S. Lewis, who was the author of what I regard as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, quote of the 20th century:
The greatest evil is not done now in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint. It is not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. - from The Screwtape Letters
