...restructuring its internal life so that all social practices, corporations and institutions were being judged not only on whether they maximized profit but also to the extent that they maximized love and caring, sensitivity and an approach to the universe based on awe and wonder at the grandeur of creation. Imagine a new Social Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would make a corporation's ability to operate in the U.S. dependent on its ability to prove a history of social responsibility both in the U.S. and around the world...

I had divorced myself from the images coming from the press, neither watching television nor looking online. I had stopped reading articles, feeling overwhelmed by the scope of coverage and not knowing where to begin. The enormity of the event had not resonated. How do we act in the midst of such horror? Is it okay to smile or laugh? Should we attempt to talk about anything aside from the attack? Is doing so a sign of insensitivity and apathy or a healthy...
