Abstract

Emergencies are pregnant with tremendous possibilities. Unwelcome and disagreeable as they may be, they compel us to face the grim realities, demand earnest introspection, reveal our ugly deficiencies, uncover our monumental mistakes, expose our shameful neglect of golden opportunities, compel us to make necessary adjustments, and rise as a mighty challenge unto more consecrated efforts, more effective leadership, more genuine cooperation.
