Stanton, and Schuyler Colfax â" who held positions of immense power and influence were all sons of physicians. Analyzing this phenomenon, the author explores the psychological underpinnings of government and suggests that medical training and heritage instilled in these men a unique blend of intellect, empathy, and unwavering devotion to the common good.
