More than in any recent election, the country will be looking at the candidates skeptically, doubting their promises, almost cynical about their abilities to alter fundamentally the nation's course.

The problem with putting section 18 in the rink's corner, word has it, is that section 13 would end up...right behind the Harvard bench. And who needs that with a New Era underway?
