PRESIDENTIAL
STYLE
OVER
SUBSTANCE
An
Unpublished Letter to Los Angeles Times
The times can be considered historic.
The national debt can be best termed staggering;
the military and economic challenge of foreign powers,
formidable; the need for level-headed leadership, unsurpassed.
One Presidential candidate has been aptly
characterized as "neither orator nor writer, but in rude
common sense and in the management of affairs he excelled."
We can be thankful that at this critical
juncture America elected as Chief Executive that person, George
Washington.
We, too, would do well to chose substance over
style.
Dukakis can do.
