But as with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Amory Blaine, for whom “It was always the becoming he dreamed [...]

Statist Quo

By: The Editors Everything changes except President Obama. His agenda doesn’t change. He has had no second thoughts about the wisdom of his health-care policies, or any of his policies; resistance is always and only a reason for redoubling. Also unchanging is the condescension with which he articulates his agenda: He faulted himself for not [...]
