...just not where I am headed. That's okay, I assure myself--no one is expected to know the precise academic and professional course his or her life will take at such early stages in the game. Correction: No one outside of Harvard is assumed to possess such foresight. But amid the red-bricked buildings of Cambridge, we are not only expected but required to predict what we see ourselves doing for a while, if not forever...
...other hand, Paul's revelations didn't reveal anything probability couldn't: I'll have two children, one smart; my career will be intellectual-ish; and my libido is on an accelerating upswing.

...seeds of tomorrow's harvest are already planted. Groups with foresight which position themselves today to take advantage of the coming changes are the ones who will win the moral battles, should they come to be fought. And the most powerful of those groups is, of course, the right, religious and otherwise. Dan Quayle may have been ridiculed for bringing family values into the forum just a few years ago, but today he has been vindicated ("Dan Quayle Was Right" read the famous Atlantic Monthly cover...
