From George Will's latest column:
The president who came to office with the most glittering array of experiences had served 10 years in the House of Representatives, then became minister to Russia, then served 10 years in the Senate, then four years as secretary of state (during a war that enlarged the nation by 33 percent), then was minister to Britain. Then, in 1856, James Buchanan was elected president and in just one term secured a strong claim to being ranked as America's worst president. Abraham Lincoln, the inexperienced former one-term congressman, had an easy act to follow.
Yet another reason why I am bullish on the new Sam Zell Tribune.

Sam Zell again? Rats. I thought with a lead like that you were gonna predict that the Pirates would win the pennant.
