...clear. The A's go to people who wake us up, who talk to us, who are sparkling and different and bright. (The B's go to Radcliffe girls who memorize the text and quote it verbatim, in perfectly hooped letters with circles over the i's.) Not, I remind you, necessarily to people who have locked themselves in Lamont for a week and seminared and outlined and underlined and typed their notes and argued out all of Leibniz's fallacies with their mothers.

Although Kennedy may have been losing the battle with his personal demons, he certainly brought forth the better angels of our nature. This is shown in the legacy he created: an extraordinary resurgence of pride in being an American and a rekindling of the notion that public service is a noble calling. Kennedy's true stature should be judged by his public accomplishments...
