We've been here before - I do remember President Reagan during the Challenger disaster. I was saying earlier that President Bush has endured more pain as President in 2 years than most get in 2 terms. But what is fortunate is that he has the strength to endure the pain and be a voice of comfort to everyone.

It is a tragedy to lose heroes - because they are few and far between. But it's also important to remember that they are also immortal, made so by their place in history, and by passing into God's embrace.

Regards, Ivan

The author of the poem High Flight that Peggy quotes here, was a 19 year old flyer who died over England during WWII.

John G. Magee Jr., the son of missionary parents, wrote the sonnet only 3 months before he died when his plane and another collided in a cloud--he luckily had sent this verse in a letter to his parents before his death.

Veronica, thanks for the post.

Seventeen years since Challenger. Life goes by so fast. And, sadly, sometimes ends too quickly.

I regularly find Ms. Noonan does her best work when the subject is most serious.

Some were a little negative on her during the SOTU, mostly complaining about style.

I like her style.

Pokey, perhaps you wish to ping the Peggy list?
