Emerson observed that "the two parties which divide the state, the party of Conservatism and the party of Innovation, are very old, and have disputed the possession of the world ever since it was made . . . Innovation is the salient energy; Conservatism the pause on the last movement." But that can be tricky. Reagan in his way was no conservative and was something of an innovator, who tried, with limited success, to reverse deep-rooted Government...
