Šli and the family stone






The upper Adriatic is not the most
fertile setting for dreaming up a
tease for the American president,
but that's where the esteemed col-
umnist for The New York Times, by
way of the internet, found one at
an hour I will not mention. Still,
to read Gail Collins by the dawn's
early light would be such a tonic
for those who stay up in the dark
to cavort in her latest fantasy, I
feel others may follow one's lead.

Her latest foray into presidential
interaction is so promising in its
particulars, and flawless in expres-
sion, that I commend it without a
single excerpt to spoil a delicious
sequencing of inspired irritants. If
you are not too elderly to withstand
the occasional ribald allusion, the
whole tenor of the thing encourages
being read to the tides, high or low.
