So what will define greatness for your generation? I believe it is to use the knowledge that you have earned here to find ways, not only to connect to computers, but to connect to people; not only to bridge gaps in science, but to bridge gaps between cultures; not only to use numbers and formulas to create, but to use words to lead, and in the process, to close that canyon between ignorance and understanding.

For me, it is about using everything that is there and using the gaps in the record, figuring out why the gaps might be there.

What the record says and what people say about it. A novelist can fill the gaps in a way that a biographer cannot.
