I became much happier when I realized I shouldn't depend solely on my career for my sense of self. So I developed other interests and surrounded myself with a small group of friends I could trust.

While the technology revolution has yet to reach far into the households of those in developing countries this is certainly another area where more developed countries can assist those in the less developed world.

In my teens I developed a passionate idolatry for a teacher of English literature. I wanted to do something that he would approve of more so I thought I should be some sort of a scholar.

Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals ' the ones who somehow know how to teach.

American inventiveness and the desire to build developed because we were guaranteed the right to own our success.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

After 25-plus years as a lawyer prosecutor and defense attorney I have developed a deep appreciation for both the wisdom of the law and the role that jurists play in framing the rights and responsibilities that define our society.
