Julio Frenk recounts a past incident over emergency contraceptives in Mexico: there was a public disagreement with the Secretary of Gobernación; Frenk spoke privately with the President (referred to as "Fox"), offered to withdraw his resignation and asked the President to intervene (talk to the archbishop, the Secretary of Gobernación and critics). Frenk says the measure was ultimately accepted and popular, and reflects on the lesson about being willing to leave a job if not ready to carry it out. The excerpt focuses on the political dynamics and personal responsibility during a contentious public-policy episode.
