An odd and fascinating primary season seems to have demonstrated the health of the political system-and produced a new face or two to engage voters' imaginations for the future. Watergate is finally interred.

It's enough to make a vegetarian cringe. Even the Pusey Library's gone underground...Well, maybe things'll shape up next year--we tend to think they won't--but at least we've got one small consolation: We're all in this together, baby...
