Epigraph
Dedication
To our colleagues in Prison Fellowship and Eckerd Family Youth Alternatives who exemplify the work ethic and who labor selflessly on behalf of others less fortunate.
First words
Perched on the brink of the twenty-first century, we look out across a land where our families are disintegrating, our streets have become drug-war combat zones, our classrooms are turning out thousands of functionally illiterate and morally bereft young people, our economy looks like it's on a roller-coaster, our government deliberately keeps millions idle, and our work force produces second-rate products while demanding first-rate benefits.
Quotations
The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem - Peter Drucker
