race alternatives favors
I still favor alternatives to governmental race-based preferences.
clever book tough-questions
Political journalists love graduate student intelligence, the ability to make clever allusions in seminars, and in 1999-2000 they hassled George W. Bush for not having it. They didn't realize what this book succinctly displays: that the President has something far more important-CEO intelligence, the ability to ask tough questions, garner essential information, and make discerning decisions.

Most organizations should be pro-active, but philanthropists concerned with poverty should deliberately be reactive, learning from the efforts of ordinary folks who tired of looking the other way as their communities fell apart.
believe fighting temptation
Those who believe in the importance of serving others should lead the way by fighting against the temptation we all have, and maybe especially as we age, to close in upon ourselves.

It starts this way: The worth of a job is not defined by what it allows you to do when you're not working.
courage real issues
On sensitive issues, talk isn't cheap - it takes real courage to pry open topics nailed shut.
being-strong christian mean
