On Running for President

In the 10 months after his graduation from Yale, time he might otherwise have spent in uniform, Dr. Dean lived the life of a ski bum in Aspen, Colo. His back condition did not affect his skiing the way the rigors of military service would have, he said, nor did it prevent him from taking odd jobs like pouring concrete in the warm months and washing dishes when it got cold [The New York Times, 11/22/03].

Dennis Kucinich is looking better and better if we want a real change. He hasn't lost the idealism he had when he was younger -- that people can care for each other [Stacey, 11/22/03].
