Federal budget: Can we handle the truth?
Can Americans handle the painful truth about government budget deficits--that
getting them under control will require both tax increases and cuts in government

Zero tolerance on race talk?
Like Trent Lott before him, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is in political hot
water over his comments about Barack Obama's race. Should leaders, in particular,
be held to a "zero tolerance" policy on potentially offensive racial comments, or
does that have a chilling effect, silencing all discussion of racial issues?

Do we need more Joe Leibermans?
Last week, one senator avoided partisanship and ideological rigidity and
successfully leveraged his vote to win what he believed were necessary changes

rather than praised for his leadership on health care?

How Much of Leadership is Symbolic?
President Obama this week holds the first state dinner, an occasion devoid of
substance but full of symbolic choices concerning everything from the guest list
and menu to the entertainment and the first lady's dress. How much is leadership
really about this sort of symbolic signaling? How important is it in accomplishing
substantive goals?

Trust in Military Leadership
A new survey out from the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public
Leadership shows Americans have significantly higher confidence in military
leaders than leaders in government, business and the media -- and that this
confidence rose over the past year, in spite of two ongoing, unresolved conflicts
in Iraq and Afghanistan. What explains this high level of trust in military
leadership? What can leaders in other sectors learn from the military?
