...never seen him look so sad. In his graceful exit speech, they heard all the qualities and contradictions that have made Powell's character and career so fascinating: a military man with a social conscience; a black New Yorker who attracted white Southern voters and Wasp CEOs like lint; the man who kept gays out of the military but endorsed gay parents as long as they create a home with love and discipline; a geology major who became, in the words of Gerald Ford and the view of many others, "the best public speaker in America"; the product...
