But the question that tugged at me, and I asked over and over was: What was that "it" that was being sustained? I needed to know because I wanted to bottle "it" and share "it." Nothing, it seemed to me, would be more useful in this age of accelerations. Having returned home to reconstruct what had worked in the past to make my community an inclusive place that could anchor and propel many of its citizens, I wanted to understand what was still working today-and that is what this chapter is about. I eventually concluded that the "it" starts with the fact that Minnesota, and even little St. Louis Park, has and had a critical mass of leaders who year in and year out came to politics and power in order to govern."
