It seems that I will never get to meet Ernest May, one of the top historians of American foreign relations. He died recently, along with David Herbert Donald, whose Lincoln biography Lincoln, is one of the best biographies of the president in existence.

On a separate note, I am glad that one of the most amazing students I’ve met at Harvard won the Hoopes prize for his senior thesis, a creative writing piece. When I first met him, an English major, at our discussion section on Jihad and Islam and International Relations last term, he already struck me as an exceptional person. I wish him all the best for his new adventures in the Middle East for McKinsey.
