The times can be considered historic.

The national debt can be best termed staggering; the military and economic challenge of foreign powers, formidable; the need for level-headed leadership, unsurpassed.

One Presidential candidate has been aptly characterized as "neither orator nor writer, but in rude common sense and in the management of affairs he excelled."

We can be thankful that at this critical juncture America elected as Chief Executive that person, George Washington.

We, too, would do well to chose substance over style.

Dukakis can do.
