...follow-up coverage to your profile of Timothy Geithner, you describe his problem as failing to pay part of his taxes in 2001-02 but neglect to mention 2003-04 [Jan. 26]. Yes, he paid them with penalties and interest but only after he was caught, first by the IRS and again by Obama's transition team. The election is over; TIME should get back to factual reporting.

But as L.A. Times reporter Carolyn Kellogg points out, is it really accurate...

Asked a follow-up question about why Washington had remained so partisan despite his promise eight years ago to be a "uniter, not a divider," Bush said, "I don't know," and suggested asking others. Even his reaching for the safety of history reflects a kind of myopia. In that sense, Bush's final press conference was most revealing for what it showed about his inability to accept responsibility for his presidency. The difference between Bush's mistakes and his disappointments may just...
