...little blond girl in the national costume," the daughter of a Czech diplomat who greeted dignitaries with flowers. She got her first lesson in tyranny when the Nazis overran her country in 1938 and her family fled to London. When the family returned, her father and role model, Josef Korbel, might have become Foreign Minister had the communists not taken over in 1948. Instead, Korbel and his family sought asylum in the U.S., where he taught international relations at the University of Denver...

In short, he was a role model eager to impart unto others both his basic humanity and his clear enthusiasm for his chosen field. I was altogether fortunate to have been taken under his wing...
...memories of Professor Price, I am struck by the fact that when one considers the qualities of the ideal Harvard professor, one has invariably described the very nature of the late H. Douglas Price. Professor Price was a thorough scholar, a thoughtful mentor, a patient teacher, a sterling role model and a compassionate friend. He authored groundbreaking scholarship in the field of American political participation which has been cited in academic journals for decades. Yet he also placed a high priority on close contact with undergraduate students...
