...Auden wrote a splendid poem called "1 September 1939," which, in the original version, he ended with the line, "We must love another, or die."

"I am not sure anyone has ever talked to the Governor like that before," says Sibley. After it was over, Sibley asked Bush to consider a compromise cap--$750,000, far closer...
