My conversation with Stephanie Robinson, author of Accountable: Making America as Good as Its Promise:
"To discover to the world something which deeply concerns it, and of which it was previously ignorant; to prove to it that it had been mistaken on some vital point of temporal or spiritual interest, is as important a service as a human being can render to his fellow creatures..." John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"

Stephanie Robinson, a lecturer at Harvard Law School and former chief Counsel Senator Ted Kennedy argues that accountability is the essential maker for good public policy.
