It should be clear by now, and from comparison with his legion of imitators and disciples, that he is unique-no longer, perhaps, in what he does, but for how well and how consistently he does it. When the Midwest brought forth Johnny Carson, it produced a bumper crop...

As he deftly shaped and pushed through the Senate a loophole-closing tax bill last week, the Kansas Republican eased tense moments with one-liners, delivered with his usual boyish grin, a bob of the head and a self-deprecating chuckle. When Republican Senator John Chafee of Rhode Island protested that he could not go along with Dole's key proposal to withhold...
