Better and Brighter - Judith Warner Blog - NYTimes.com

Better and Brighter - Judith Warner Blog - NYTimes.com: "Maybe it will be discovered that some of the best and the brightest are already teaching third grade and providing low-paying, low-glory health care services. Maybe the definition of the term will come to depend less on money and power, and more on service, ideals, even character. Perhaps there will be an honest accounting of what drives a life devoted to wealth-making.

And maybe — if things work out for this book-writing president and his coterie of brilliant advisers — people might even start to see intellectuals as good, and bright, without irony."
