The Best and the Brightest?
A thoughtful op-ed piece by Frank Rich ... delineating the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Calling on some parallels between Kennedy's and Obama's team-building, Rich reminds us that "the best and the brightest" failed Kennedy and the nation. Be sure to read his last paragraph. With a team so bright, it will be all the more imperative for Obama to be sure the buck stops with him.
