...last week was hardly Lincolnesque. But with few exceptions, U.S. newspapers liked the way the Republicans ran their convention, ratified their choices, and cheered the first speeches in what looked to be a rousing good campaign.

Between races, he paced the infield grass incessantly. At the finish line, hands clenched, chest thrust forward, his face a mask of rigid concentration, he pantomimed the runners breaking the tape.
