James Madison's ego was in indirect proportion to his accomplishments, just like Thomas Jefferson's. Hence, almost nothing for Madison, and much more for ol' TJ. (He was a member of a committee that wrote the Declaration of Independence, not its sole author; never served in the militia; was a failure as a businessman; was an admitted failure as a governor; was arguably a failure as a president; and he didn't participate in the writing of the Constitution. He had a curious mind, and was probably more important for his scientific and exploration activities than his other accomplishments. Jefferson outlived his political opponents, which was his biggest accomplishment.)
I worked for Mike Quinn at Mount Vernon, and in fact called him Monday when the story in the Post appeared. He took ten minutes out of his busy day to talk to me, even though I haven't seen him in four years or so. Remembered me right off the bat, asked how my wife is doing. He is a man of integrity and intellect, so I trust that the restoration at Montpelier will be conducted likewise.
