This sentence is ambiguous. Obviously you mean:
Funny how things emerge only after one has *lost*
the power to implement.
THe alternative reading would have lots of powerful people
using their power for good/creative initiatives.
Occasionally there is someone who gets into an
endowed chair and uses their position to further
ends that young persons could not risk.
From those to whom much has been given
much should be expected.
At least that's my view -- not asking them to
sacrifice and rot in the street along with
the wretched of the earth for whom they could
do little good as one of them, but asking
that when they get together for drinks
in the affternoon at the Yale Club, that they
discuss real social issues and how to address
them rather than debating whether one of them
can get Job to curse the other.
Cheers!
