...none of its cases, said Brennan, had the Supreme Court ever ruled that the Constitution is color blind. It does not make sense, he declared, to try to eliminate the evil of racial discrimination and then forbid the remedies that are required to accomplish this.

Capitalism must recover its moral content, argues Kristol, if it is going to survive. This is what Horatio Alger provided in such abundance for generations gone by.

Nor, being the aristocrat he is, is he likely to call them anything that sounds vulgar or, God forbid, flashy. No A.J.'s Poppa or Nudie will ever bear the gray and yellow silks of Rokeby Stables. Instead, Mellon chooses names that are close to heart, and a list of his horses shows the dimensions...
