...Bush brags about the searing, dry heat at his remote Texas ranch, where he will spend most of August hanging with his heifers. (Real men don't go to Maine.) The softie Clinton will once again mooch a house off friends to swing among the swells on Martha's Vineyard. There must be some middle ground between these two.

...write a book about America these days, a work of definitive analysis, you know? Like the big thinkers. Come up with an all-encompassing theory about the end of history, or the Whatsit Generation, or better yet, be Tocqueville--so that everyone in the Hamptons or on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket this summer would nod in somber yet enthusiastic agreement that, yep, this is America, all right...
