...rest of the book is a glowing portrait of the President. Perhaps all we should expect from the man who served with such distinction in one of the hardest public jobs in politics. But Fleischer witnessed sweeping history. Surely there is something to be gleaned from being so close to the center of such drama. We don't need secrets, just insight. No luck. Even the behind-the-scenes moments he recounts have an off the rack quality: Bush is strong, resolute and likes making decisions...

At Harvard, Sara(h) does not mean me. It means all of us, and we strive to find different...
