Joe Slovo now has streets streets, drives, and towns named after him, and songs of admiration written about him, and is considered a struggle icon in South Africa. What does Bill Keller have? A Pulitzer prize for writing liberal fluff about police reform? Since he called Joe Slovo a "Stalinist", I think this quote is only fitting:

I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy.

Also just read this liberal nonsense from Bell Keller

The world needs Nelson Mandelas. Instead, it gets Vladimir Putins. As the South African hero was being sung to his grave last week, the Russian president was bullying neighboring Ukraine into a new customs union that is starting to look a bit like Soviet Union Lite, and consolidating his control of state-run media by creating a new Kremlin news agency under a nationalistic and homophobic hard-liner.

For someone who wrote an 128 page biography about Nelson Mandela and lived in South Africa for three years during the fall of apartheid, he seems to have zero understanding of Mandela and what he stood for.
