For Bush's supporters, there is an obligation to recognize that the intense effort of the other side was as much an expression of love of country as any pledge, hymn or flag. For people on both sides, there is relief that the day affirmed the sustaining virtue of American democracy.

"The Goldbrick" (Tashlin, September 43) has SNAFU urging his fellow GIs, "I'm a goldbrick, be like me, use your head / With a heart of pure gold and a backside of lead," before singing a hymn to the lazy life to the tune of "Tit Willow" from "The Mikado." It ends with a bucktoothed Jap (they always had prominent dentures and were always called Jap) threatening, "Here lies a goldbrick, I must go find more. / If I find enough goldbrick, Japan could...
