As a junior staffer in Clinton WH, I watched her speak w/ decisive certainty on difficult issues while others in the room equivocated. Her default was action. That stuck w/ me.

Paul Farmer, Pioneer of Global Health, Dies at 62 nytimes.com/2022/02/21/obi
Worth reading Paul Farmer’s obit in full. A true public health hero who epitomized what caring means and lived up to his ideals. My favorite line: “cynicism is a dead end”.
A role model for all of us.
