SUNKEN TREASURES
SUNKEN TREASURES
Going down with the truth is more noble than going down with a ship, to parody Captain John Paul Jones, 'even if it is at the risk of drowning,' as was said by Victor Bryant, Esq., of New York City, a 1976 classmate at Howard University Law School .
Mobility has virtue as does nobility. A sunken ship is lost, but not the truth. Truth is resurgent, no matter how long it may have been buried.
The very rocks will cry out! Even the sea will disgorge rich cargoes, laden with ancient encrusted coin of the realm, whose speciation has value, authentic value as the truth.
