The Week

■ It has finally happened. President Bush has called a certain pending piece of legislation a “so-called” civil-rights bill. We shall overcome.

■ After much soul-searching, George McGovern has decided not to seek the Presidency next year. Laugh not. Though in 1972 he carried only Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., the country since then has been increasingly governed on his principles, albeit, under Reagan, the growth of McGovernment was somewhat retarded. In recognition whereof, why not rename the nation’s capital in his honor? It seems more appropriate to say our money is going to McGovern than to Washington.
