Two currents kept his attention. The first was a civic initiative stitching unlikely allies together around a long-term shared vision; its founding words, he said, felt like something he might have written himself. The second came through a financial columnist's bracing cry against market froth — a reminder that waiting for gravity is its own kind of discipline.<br />
