Epilogue and Reflections
Having participated in many urban institutional/university/medical/community conflicts/debates/solutions, I fully support this work by Richard Sobel. He clearly understands and states the need for leadership and respect by/for both institutions and communities; realizing that they both are part of the problem and the solution. Richard records an accurate history of many such conflicts with details and empathy.
