...wear to school, and touches of extravagant decor, like Troy's tree house, as big as an Astaire-Rogers Deco suite, redecorated in retro-rustic. (The roof opens too, apparently at voice command.) The biggest leap of make-believe is that the high school experience is wunnnnnderful - though this view is no less reductive than the one, in so many comedies and horror movies, that says high school is a Hades of sadistic cliques in constant turmoil. Where films in those genres go for the gross, the G-rated HSM is freakishly squeakishly clean. Nobody's going...

Outsiders view the state as a bastion of liberalism--witness Eugene McCarthy, Vice Presidents Humphrey and Mondale--but insiders disagree. Carleton College's Schier says Minnesota "is actually a quirky populist state. It gave 24% of its vote during the 1992 presidential election to Ross Perot." Ventura's fiscal conservatism--no tax increases, the return of all future state budget surpluses to taxpayers--struck a responsive chord.

Obama had a choice at that moment. He could thank Petraeus for the briefing and promise to take his views "under advisement." Or he could tell Petraeus what he really thought, a potentially contentious course of action - especially with a general not used to being confronted. Obama chose to speak his mind.
