...flagrant violation of the Secret Protocols of Political Columnists to mention the same politician favorably two weeks in a row, but Graham has forced it upon me. He excoriated the Attorney General-designate Alberto Gonzales last week for allowing the White House to loosen the rules on torture. This week, praise goes to his Social Security reform plan. Graham actually approaches fiscal sanity. He would offer individuals a chance to invest up to $1,300 of their payroll taxes per year in any of five government-approved funds, ranging from stock indexes to private bonds to government paper...

...9/11, he read the Civil War history April 1865, and the example of Lincoln's strength left him even more convinced that he should not change direction. "Lincoln set the goal and stayed the course," he wrote to author Jay Winik. "I will do the same." He did not mention another point made in the book, which some of Bush's critics would note: how wars are managed at the end is as important as how and why they are begun...
