From The Rotarian Magazine: The Four-Way Test in a post-truth era
By Joseph Epstein
I only recently learned of The Four-Way Test, one of Rotary’s central principles. It is of special interest in the current day, when truth — or, more precisely, truthfulness — seems to be losing its prestige in public life.
