...COMPETITIVE WORLD," ACKNOWLEDGED David Rowland, chairman of Lloyd's of London, "we have performed very poorly." That was hardly news for the nearly 20,000 "Names," Lloyd's investors who in some instances have lost fortunes as the 300-year-old insurance firm bled $9.4 billion in red ink over a four- year period.

Simply to move the debate from whether the deficit should be tackled to how the red ink should be stemmed is the definition of courage in modern American politics. So give him that, and praise him as well for keeping faith with his basic philosophy, his insistence that current consumption be sacrificed for future investment if the nation is to prosper in the global marketplace.
