Although Schmidt embodies the old virtues as well as anyone, he had to bear the banner for a party that acquired a largely undeserved left-leaning reputation under former Chancellor Willy Brandt.

Citizen's Band radios howl with rebel yells, chants and incantations: Eat 'em up, Dogs! Get 'em, Gators! Roll, Tide! The college football season has arrived. Everyone who could ferret out a ticket is going to The Game. Which The Game? It doesn't matter. The South is renewing its annual passion, and every...
