“At the center of power, as Shakespeare reminds us, there always and only resides a fallible human being” – Eliot A. Cohen, “The Hollow Crown: Shakespeare on How Leaders Rise, Rule, and Fall”

Year-end reflection, an impending consequential presidential election and looking for a good holiday read. Lawyers and judges devote a lot of attention to literature, leadership and power, and for those inclined, Eliot Cohen’s recent book is highly recommended.
