EDITOR: We have long been an admirer of President George H. W. Bush and look forward to reading his book. Smart, courageous, tough without brandishing it, experienced, humble and a real gentleman. Here is a true role model for all of us, the person with whom we would most like to have dinner.

I would take a hundred years of Ronald Reagan before I’d want even one more hour of any Bush in the Presidency.
