Ryan Jr., the former director of the Justice Department's elite Nazi-hunting unit testifies in court that he did not suppress evidence in the denaturalization and extradition trials of Cleveland autoworker John Demlanjuk.

Eszterhas' imaginative flair was too much of a good thing during his early years as a newsman at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, where one of his stories cost the paper $60,000 in damages for what, on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed were "calculated falsehoods."

That is where he belongs, talking to the people, assuring them that he understands their needs, and reminding them why they voted for him. He should not forget that George Bush's popularity plunge was the product of his seemingly callous remoteness from the populace. ("Message: I care" didn...
