Commentary
At this time each year, our family is inundated with solicitations by mail, email, and even telephone. We are given many opportunities for giving—to charities that help the poor and downtrodden in this country and across the world, to philanthropies that aid orchestras or schools and colleges, and to worthy causes and publications that we are known or presumed to support.
