When I feel upset, the beauty of a tree in Kirkland House courtyard or the excitement of tourists photographing buildings, squirrels and each other is much more likely to make me smile than any attempt to convince myself that the big picture suggests I should feel happy. I recommend against trying to philosophize oneself into a happy mood; so far, it has never worked for me, while ice cream and funny movies have an impeccable track record...

In the eyes of the country, it's George Bush's identity - consummate professional, protean charmer, reasonable conservative - that has become mottled. Bush campaigned as an adult who would restore not only honor but also professionalism to the White House. No all-night sessions strewn with pizza boxes. He would...
