Expert Opinions
By Dr. Peter Schramm
My mother - now moving towards 88 - hasn't been to a movie in over ten years, yet she insisted on seeing Lincoln. I was delighted to go to a movie with Mom, happy to see every seat taken, and even more delighted to hear the applause at the end of it. I'd never been to a movie which brought forth spontaneous and heart-felt applause. And it was deserved. This is a first-class movie and its two-and-a-half hours went by unnoticed.

There may not be a silver lining in every dark cloud, but it often seems that way in American politics. The outgoing 111th Congress, which a majority of American voters has judged to be one dark storm cloud, leaves behind it at least one silver lining: As a result of its actions, a serious political conversation began.

Recent incidents involving pat-downs and full-body scanners at airports have generated considerable controversy. Some believe, in the name of security, that travelers should view these measures as minor and necessary inconveniences. Others insist that they have been asked to surrender too many of their rights in exchange for the false promise of safety.

Ronald Reagan, were he still living, would celebrate his 100th birthday today. Yet even the decades that have elapsed since his presidency have not been able to dim the affection people feel for him. The longer he is gone, the more he is esteemed. Indeed, that esteem is now so widespread that even those who notoriously abused Reagan while he lived find themselves unable to deny his greatness or to resist the impulse to sing his praises.
