We Are Creating A Political Demolition Derby,

China's Premier Zhao Ziyang, For All Of His Billion Constituents, Seemed In The Evening's Lovely Flow Like A Favorite Uncle, Smiling A Little Too Much, Wanting To Be A Bit American, Talking About Peace And Pork Chops.

The Legions Of Reporters Who Cover Politics Don't Want To Quit The Clash And Thunder Of Electoral Combat For The Dry Duty Of Analyzing The Federal Budget. As A Consequence, We Have Created The Perpetual Presidential Campaign.

The Prime Minister Found Something Hopeful In The Man's Eyes And Manner. The 30 Or So People Who Run This World Analyze One Another That Way And Then Make Decisions Of Life And Death For Us. Scary, But True.

A Sense Of Humor Is Needed Armor.

In This Era Of World Leadership, The Metal Detector Is The Altar And The Minicam May Be God.
