for Denis Bold
It's mystifying, to one of their
contemporaries, how commentators
in the media, even of careers as
long as theirs, remark on a hol-
lowing out of Bill Clinton, with
a leaner diet, resulting from
cardiac surgeries. They confuse
horsepower with displacement, a
rust-belt comprehension fueled,
I fear, by imagery in which the
work they do, is steeped in bias.
I remark, if only to myself, on
the supercharging power of ref-
lection, in the continuum he dia-
grammed in Philadelphia. The dif-
ference between speculation and
testament seems forgotten by our
sages, dieting on commercials. At
the same time, Donald Trump had
been prescient to warn, the Dem-
ocratic Party would trot out a
candidacy of tired antiquity. I
see just straw against his wind,
and nothing he can do about it.
