...Politics is frequently perceived as a somewhat unappetizing career, and not only in America. Historian Henry Steele Commager notes that "talent grows in whatever channels are available and are popular. It goes where the public rewards are." Thus the birth of the U.S. was attended by a breathtaking array of intellectual talent?Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, Washington, Franklin?because public service was the ideal and one of the few outlets for talent in late 18th century America. But in the 20th century, says Commager, talent is best rewarded in private enterprise, and the better leaders leave politics to the mediocre...

...AUTHORS of Time on the Cross are nothing if not considerate. They have an array of revelations, some less startling than others, about American slavery. They say it was highly profitable, economically viable, and "35 per cent more efficient than the northern system of family farming." They also conclude that slaves were hardworking, members of solid families, and better fed on the average than Americans in 1879. So they begin their book of cliometric history (history based on statistical analyses) with a chapter of reassurance. "Some of the discoveries were at one time as unbelievable to the cliometricians as they...
