...18th-century midwife, I knew when I had been zinged. Complaints about the abandonment of the Revolution have little to do with Harvard, however. They ultimately derive from the “History Wars” of the 1990s, a period when National Endowment for the Humanities Chair Lynne Cheney and others denounced “revisionist historians” who supposedly wanted to replace the Founding Fathers with figures like Harriet Tubman...

By judiciously asserting his influence, Bush believes he can set "an agenda that our party and, one would hope, the country can unite behind," White House communications director Nicolle Wallace said. But the flap over port security, coming after the controversy over Vice President Dick Cheney's handling of his accidental shooting of a hunting companion, shows that the White House will have to sharpen its game to regain even that much ground. An Administration official said Bush's aides realize that they'll be taking more Republican shots "every year that we're closer to being...
