...Mr. Karzai is [not] a saint or even much of a statesman. But neither is he a despot, a fanatic, a sybarite, or an uncouth bigot--qualities that typify the leadership of countries for which the U.S. has also expended blood and treasure in defense of lesser causes.

When the specter asks Pertile about his rumored departure, Pertile--a Dante scholar who has been notably involved, to say the least, with House crew--offers: “'Mr. Eliot, you see, this is our tenth year, and the third in which we hold the Agassiz Cup. I don’t think we should tempt fortune further...we have had such a wonderful run here for the past ten years, that to ask you and the other Gods'--he liked that a lot!--'to ask you and the other Gods for more'--he loved that!--'might be foolish?...
...passion, dignity and down-to-earth charm, it's Hancock. He should start at the top, and propose Beer Summit II with the BCS' most high-profile critic. "I'm an Obama guy and I'd welcome the chance to visit with him," Hancock says. If Hancock calls, Mr. President, pick up. You might never love the BCS. But you'd certainly enjoy a beer with Bill.
