Read MoreThe Mystery of Life: the Self unveiled

17 years ago, I was attending Harvard’s Reunion with my husband (he’s class of ’68) that was held during the school’s regular commencement time in late spring. Among the guests of honor was Colin Powell, who at the time was Joint Chief of Staff, the official head of the US Military. To demonstrate the magnanimity…
