President Hillary Clinton and the Future of Civilization By Raymond S. Kraft
I am listening to one of the courses from The Teaching Company these days, this one “The Wisdom of History” by Prof. J. Rufus Fears, the David Ross Boyd Professor of Classics at the University of Oklahoma. He is absolutely the best speaker I have ever heard, both brilliant and eloquent. One of the points he keeps making is that the rise and fall of nations and empires very often hinges on the decisions, or indecisions, of one person – that history is not made by grand sweeping social forces so much as by the influence and force of character of specific individuals.
