Former White House adviser David Gergen has dementia but he left some thoughts “on the path forward for our country” that his daughter published in the Boston Globe.
On future generations: “Many in the next generation are going to the best schools and not giving back what is remotely needed by our country. We need to continue to ensure that we have people in the next generation out front pulling the wagon — innovators and people in the public sector — delivering on the goods.”
