Notes & Asides

Dear Bill:

Your column, “On Declaring for President,” has made me feel very sheepish indeed. As you may have heard—coy though I’ve tried to be about it—I am giving thought to running for President. Let me hasten to point out, however, that in keeping with tradition, I am merely in an “exploratory” stage, and have not yet summoned up the presumption to say explicitly that I’m plunging in.
