Drinking some iced Vietnamese coffee that my son brought me from Cafe Molli on 16th Street in Phoenix.

The First Management Consultant on Delegation
In Exodus, Chapter 18:
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
First Paragraph
I, Julian Fabius, an advocate for discretion in all things, should have known better. Take that as a given. But even the best shield can drop with age, weariness, and wine and the truth is I would like my epitaph to be more impressive than "He Made a Fatal Jest about the Emperor Tiberius."

Revolutionary Climates
It is ironic that of all countries in Europe, France was the only one that could have had a revolution - not because she groaned under the lash of tyranny, but, on the contrary, because she tolerated and even invited every conceivable dissension and heresy. Restlessness, a passion for novelty and the pursuit of excitement were everywhere in the air. They were the fruits of idleness and leisure, not of poverty.
