We can make mayors and officers every year, but not scholars.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mayors do not have that authority to pick and choose what laws they're going to enforce.
Mayors are leaders, doers. We get things done, and we are moving America's cities forward.
That's what mayors do. They lobby Congress to provide resources for their city.
In the same way that we need statesmen to spare us the abjection of exercising power, we need scholars to spare us the abjection of learning.
The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used to be; it looks like you are in charge, but you are not.
Mayors of New York are almost automatically national figures.
My school is attended by near three hundred scholars.
I think that what we've been able to do is put together both a good group of scholars and analysts and people who aggressively want to make the case to the American public.
We need an attorney general for the people, not a presidential protector and puppet of the administration.
We are not merely historians but also and always citizens.
