Welcome to Citiwire.net! And warm Christmas season wishes to all. In that spirit, I dared in my column to address happiness–and how, even in economically bleak times, it can play out in national life and especially in the communities where we live. Our Citistates Group contributor for the week is Kim Walesh, who holds the unusual title of “chief strategist” for the city of San Jose. Her message is the power of the arts in city life–not just for their own glorious sake, but also, in the remarkable legacy of Leonardo da Vinci, to bolster human skills in their breathtaking full sense.
