Interesting observation by the @nytimes.com

We (Harvard, universities, civil society generally) may come stronger out of this, as we find common cause.

I've posted this elsewhere, but thought I might share on this platform.
I was hospitalized Tuesday-Friday last week due to a blood clot, which was successfully removed surgically.
