...with Bush, signal the slightest flicker of frustration with the President in public? Will someone, somewhere hold up a sign that implies that Yanks prefer Diana to Camilla? Like all caricatures, the view of Charles as not quite connected with the world holds some truth. Yet it is also fair to say that within the cocoon of royalty, and despite the disorder that dominated his personal life during his marriage to Diana, he has created a role for himself of such scope that if he were a commoner, you would call it a remarkable and successful career.

Even Central bankers charged with steering the global economy are permitted their pastimes. Greenspan loves to roam well beyond the facts for intellectual stimulation. He was deeply influenced by Rand's classic Atlas Shrugged, which helped shape his view that individuals acting in self-interest make for fair and honest markets.

...vote Democrat. Many of us do about as much good as most Northerners did when they waited for a civil war to threaten their way of life before demanding the end of an unjust system. The passive Northern businessman was just as bad as the plantation owner. To be fair, certainly some of us do come from backgrounds where we need the Goldman Sachs job to pay off loans or to support our families. Maybe a few of us actually do need the McKinsey business experience in order to start that nonprofit that will save the world. But most...
