Bill Keller had some great observations about the stock market and the Bush administration on the Saturday op-ed page of The New York Times (painless registration required to read it on line). He echoes some of the thoughts expressed here earlier in the month, but of course much more capably. Wish I'd written that!

Keller's recent work also includes some very thoughtful writing about the Catholic Church's problems, and a beautiful but excruciatingly truthful personal account of pregnancy and birth. Not to mention his nuclear terrorism expose'. Is this guy on the national speaker circuit yet? He ought to be.
