“Be the change you want to see in the world” is by far my favorite quote of all time. Mahatma Gandhi was a wise, peaceful leader and an inspiration to millions. But this blog isn’t about a history lesson; it’s about channeling your inner change agent. Lisa Shannon was your average twentysomething with a job, [...]

In light of Justice Souter’s recent announcement that he is stepping down from the U.S. Supreme Court in June, my colleagues and I were joining with the pundits in pondering who his replacement might be.

The name itself makes you stop and read the story — yet another Kennedy looking to enter politics? Combine it with “Caroline” and “Senator,” and you’ve got a showstopper. As I read the various articles about Caroline Kennedy’s interest in filling the Senate seat soon to be vacated by Hillary Clinton, I couldn’t help but [...]
