  • Good, Power and the Human Scale

    Over a life time I have come to understand the famous or influential people I have both admired and encountered as regular human beings, full of vanities, foibles, contradictions, heroic actions, kindness, cruelty, betrayal and often capable of great empathy… Continue reading
