The art of biography from Plutarch onwards shows how character is destiny. And superb books in the genre show how that character was shaped by upbringing and environment. In this respect, Sam Tanenhaus’s Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America is magnificent. Tanenhaus shows in detail “how everything Buckley learned and everything he became began at home.”A middle child in a pack of ten, he had to become a performer from the start simply to be heard over his siblings.

Despite his past advocacy for expansive government programs and robust social spending, Pritzker proposes neither substantial tax increases nor significant new initiatives. Most conspicuously absent from his accompanying budget speech was any mention that the state would no longer fund free health care for illegal aliens aged 42 to 64.

A lovely post by my friend Mark Movsesian. He is certainly right that Souter had remarkable personal qualities that particularly stood out in status focused Washington.
My recollections of Justice David Souter, a remarkable person and true gentleman, who never let Washington go to his head and treated his clerks with generosity and kindness--even when they messed up.
