Eric Lander, director of the Office of Science and Technology, shares the story behind a book fragment from the Library of Congress that he placed his hand on while taking the oath of office. He speaks about the contents of the book and highlights a particular verse that he says will guide his work in office. "We don't have to finish the work, but we may not refrain from doing that work, the work of repairing the world," he says. The book was printed in 1492 in the Kingdom of Naples, the year that the Jews were expelled from Spain, Mr. Lander says. close
