There may be only two practical ways to deal with the question of privacy for candidates, and neither relies on the self-restraint of the press, since that is a forlorn hope. The first is the "let it all hang out" approach, in which the candidate answers every question, truthfully, and relies on the good sense of the people to weigh the importance of what is disclosed. There is good reason to believe, post-Clinton, that we have arrived at a time in which the public can sort out what's important and what is merely embarrassing. Do most candidates...

We watch the flying cars, the robotic dogs, the pills that expand with a drop of water into seven-course meals and think: "This future's already past. This film was set in 1980; it's 1999 already, and none of this has happened." It's a fate worse than simply being dated.
