— Robert Solow"Suppose someone sits down where you are sitting right now and announces to me that he is Napoleon Bonaparte.

So, Wesley Clark is running for president. Pretty amazing guy. Four star general, first in his class at West Point, supreme commander of NATO, saw combat in Vietnam, won the bronze star, silver star, the purple heart for being wounded in battle.
