...illness, appears a most creative leader. This appears in his proposals for the segregation problem—moderate but forceful action and the establishment of biracial commissions. Eisenhower’s stands, both foreign and domestic (with the exception of the farm bill), have been forthright and sensible. In light of his own worth and the incompetence of his immediate subordinates, the President’s recurring illness is most distressing to a comparatively leaderless nation...

...things left to do. When my roommates and I went to Ireland for an intersession trip, I was initially upset that we hadn’t made it to all of the sightseeing attractions listed in the guidebook. But now I recall that scenario in a more positive light. Missing out on a few things is all right because it can help map and prioritize the future. It is comforting not only to know that there is ground left to cover after we leave Harvard, but also that what were first regrets from college can serve as signposts...
