The hallmark of our times is change and acceleration, but we have to provide the history.
From Jim Leach
America somehow thinks that leadership relates to governance, and it certainly does. But society is much bigger than governance, and some of the truly great leadership of our society is outside the governance arena.
Public decision-making does not lend itself to certitude.
It is hard to cement any relations with any country based on promises that may not be deliverable.
I am appalled by the notion of cultural wars.
If you read literature, you put yourself in somebody else's shoes. You learn from great figures in literature.
History provides a sense of where we've been and lessons that can be taken forward.
I think America is going to have to think through whether it wants to uplift the political dialogue or advance an approach that divides and, frankly, can lead to violence.
Politics has high and low moments. Sometimes it brings out the better angels of our nature; sometimes baser instincts.
