  1. Kendall Harmon says:

    Probably there are no comments on this because it is on the long side. I was wondering whether anyone caught the connection to the contemporary Presidential campaign.

  2. John Wilkins says:

    If you have a chance, Kendall, find the This American Life episode on him. It is one of the most gripping pieces of political drama you will ever hear.

    Washington was one of the few people who was 1) intellectually gifted 2) had masterful political instincts and 3) had a conscience.
