This link between leadership and learning is not only essential at the community level. It is even more indispensable in world affairs. Ignorance and misinformation can handicap the progress of a city or a company, but they can, if allowed to prevail in foreign policy, handicap this countrys security.

John F. Kennedy, Dallas, Texas, November 22, 1963. Undelivered Speech
