Except for those hopefully few souls who view themselves as hapless victims of an unfair destiny, most of us want to feel that our efforts are worthwhile and in fact contribute to the common good, and certainly part of this involves our ability to ensure that those who follow in our footsteps are among the best and brightest of their generation.
