Fouad Ajami: Samuel Huntington's Warning - WSJ.com: "Critics who branded the book as a work of undisguised nativism missed an essential point. Huntington observed that his was an 'argument for the importance of Anglo-Protestant culture, not for the importance of Anglo-Protestant people.' The success of this great republic, he said, had hitherto depended on the willingness of generations of Americans to honor the creed of the founding settlers and to shed their old affinities"

The McKinsey Quarterly: The Online Journal of McKinsey & Co.

The McKinsey Quarterly: The Online Journal of McKinsey & Co.: "Innovation always has been driven by a person or a small team that has the luxury of thinking of a new idea and pursuing it. There are no counter examples. It was true 100 years ago and it'll be true for the next 100 years. Innovation is something that comes when you're not under the gun. So it's important that, even if you don't have balance in your life, you have some time for reflection. So that you could say, 'Well, maybe I'm not working on the right thing.' Or, 'maybe I should have this new idea.' The creative parts of one's mind are not on schedule"

There he was, sitting around the house in his blue jogging suit, dipping into delusions of grandeur in which the empty Senate seat becomes a magic key to a Cabinet post, a big-money job for the missus, the presidency in 2016.

Lord knows we’ve all been tempted to retreat into fantasyland when things get rough. Really, the only thing saving us from succumbing was the lack of a Senate seat to sell."

BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | Has Obama made his first blunder?: "He went to her New York home and was shocked at how sterile it was - like a hotel room, he said, plush but characterless.
