...both men work this time around--especially in Iowa last week, where peace is the issue, hot is the style, and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean is rapidly becoming the flavor of the month. Ask an Iowa Democrat about Gephardt or Lieberman, and the most common reaction is a sigh.

...hope we feel at the beginning of a new semester, though, is not uncontaminated by our customary cynicism. Even as we inspect syllabi, a part of us thinks, How good could a social analysis course really be?
