Equality of Opportunity and Equality of Results

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
To the Editor.— I was delighted to read in your editorial "True" and "More True" ( 214 :1697, 1970) that terms such as "true," "round," "square," or "straight" admit of comparison in our ordinary empirical world of things that we see and hear.

The traditional characterization of a libertarian society is that it is one which minimizes uncontracted enforcible restrictions on individual conduct. It is argued that, due to (i) the fact of necessarily finite natural resources, and (ii) the fact that human societies are composed of persons who are not exact contemporaries, i.e.
