a harrowing predilection for the uses of force had become commonplace, with an equal distaste for the alternative forms of influence. at the same time, all of our firepower was impotent when it came to halting or even stemming the slaughter in rwanda, darfur, myanmar. our public education, once a model for the world, has become most noteworthy for its failures. mastery of basic skills and a bare minimum of cultural literacy eludes vast numbers of our students. despite having a research establishment that is the envy of the world, more than half of the american public don't believe in evolution. and don't press your luck about how much those who do believe in it actually understand it. incredibly, this nation, with all its material, intellectual and spiritual resources, seems utterly helpless to reverse the freefall in any of these areas. equally startling, from my point of view, is the fact that no one was drawing any connections between what is happening to the body politic, and what is happening in our leading educational institutions. we may be at the top of the list when it comes
