...parents. The Adomanis family has no inherited wealth; we earned and paid very significant taxes on everything we gained. My parents will accrue a very substantial debt in order to send me here, and they meet the tuition payments only as a result of careful planning and foresight. In the current discussions over economic diversity, however, my family would be lumped along with families to which forty thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket or a typical deposit into a bank account. The family experiences that people from backgrounds similar to mine bring to Harvard are valuable and worthy...
...Overall, Ohiri Field was not the den of iniquity that Evans gleefully described to every media outlet that would listen to him. Actually, unlike previous years, there were no serious alcohol-related incidents, and student drinking was for the most part responsible. This success was largely due to the foresight of University Health Services, which set up an aid tent on the field, and Harvard University Dining Services, which gave students free barbecued food to eat before the festivities. If the BPD’s presence had any effect at all, it was to force underage students?...
...struggle to give Harvard students a social life. The saga began more than a decade ago with a valiant attempt known as “Loker Commons,” now an Ozymandias-esque monument to the power of Harvard’s wallet and the myopia of its foresight.

"Sharp can sell its TVs for $200 to $300 more than Sony, which is a total reversal of the old situation," he says. Sharp's international-business director, Toshishige Hamano, agrees, saying, "In the long history of the electronics market, all companies have their moment...
...serve this nation is not to compensate handsomely for blunders after the fact, but to preempt such blunders in the first place. This requires a level of imagination and foresight that September 11 exposed as sorely missing from our government, and, as Hurricane Katrina showed, is still missing today. The biggest problems that now face America aren’t of the textbook variety: enemies do not identify themselves with bright red uniforms, nor do natural catastrophes necessarily obey rules of prediction. Until the administration chooses to confront this truth, it condemns itself to the same pattern of complacency, negligence...
