...well leave us a dramatically changed country. Unless we are vigilant, however, it will not cure the pathologies of our politics. As long as we continue to hand the real work of compromises, creativity, and difficult governance to later generations, we allow the true catastrophes to creep up on us, gaining traction in our denial...

O’Keefe ’91. “At Harvard, I met high-powered, fascinating people who were utter dicks...
