...wanna-be of the Reagan years or the new civic-minded academicians--is all that valid. Chances are that far less than one-tenth of one percent of college students end up making $80,000 in their first year out in the real world.

The contention that people have been misled or manipulated, wrote one smug supporter of the probable winner shortly before the election, "reveals an extraordinary contempt for the political intelligence of the public...

Balanced against this is the high-level technical competence and inner harmony of the Bush team, which may well be a prelude...
