American presidential historian and journalist Hugh Sidey presented this diary, published in the book Prelude to Leadership, for the first time ever in a speech at the Kennedy School yesterday...
Consider what dear Ms. Thompson's dear Miss Dashwood has to deal with. She is in unrequited love with Mr. Ferrars (Hugh Grant, marvelously blending probity and arrested development), who has foolishly promised himself to another. But of this misery she dare not speak, for other circumstances require that she be a brick: the death of her father and the loss of Norland, the stately digs where she and her all female family have been safe and content; the genteel but palpable anxiety of her mother (Gemma Jones), trying to be brave as poverty and spinsterhood loom for her girls...

This woman, who was caricatured in her Sarah Lawrence yearbook as an ostrich...
Critical for blacks and whites alike. "I think this may have been the largest family-values rally in the history of America," says Hugh Price, president of the National Urban League. "The proof will be whether it translates into action back home.'' The action will have to be smart and sustained to make any difference to the intertwined predicaments of prejudice and the lagging economic performance of blacks. Those facts are complicated now as never before by the economic squeeze on people of all races in America. It makes many whites more impatient with black demands and provides an opening...
