Don't go mum on us, Barack
I was at a playground with my daughter the other day, reading "The Two Kinds of Decay" by Sarah Manguso (good book) and watching my girl as she stood at the perimeter of children playing and studied them, exactly as I did when I was a kid, working up the nerve to plunge into the fray. She is braver than I -- she plunges. I tended to retreat and have been backpedaling ever since.
Happy Independence Day
This column is being published on July 2. It's the first time in a long time that my column fell on that date, and I've been waiting for this conjunction in order to tell the true story of American independence.
