...attended his concert at Philadelphia's Town Hall. It would be his last performance in my town except for three appearances at Central Magistrates Court after a drug bust. (Prescription drugs; he was acquitted.) And in 1964 I drove up to New York to see his Easter weekend stint at the Village Theater (later the Fillmore East). Four shows, all 11,000 tickets sold; I caught the late show, midnight, on Saturday. He did plenty of material about his legal vexations, but Lenny was still a spieler who could mesmerize his audience for two hours plus ? a great gig. (There...

For politicians of the soft and pampered boomer generation - "well-meaning little men," as TR once called the type, "with receding chins and small feet" - TR is a perfect reproof, and they respond by embracing him. Clinton placed a bust of the Rough Rider on his desk. Bush moved TR's portrait to a prominent spot in the Cabinet room, and to many an Oval Office visitor he proudly points to his desk as the same one Roosevelt used. "I call him Ted," the President has said...
