You mentioned that you are now reading Ron Chernow's incomparable one-volume Washington, which I have just finished.
On page 658 he quotes a letter from Washington to Madison in 1788, a year before the French Revolution, talking about the French Revolution, in which he utters a sentence probably as good as most sentences chisled inside the Lincoln or Jefferson monuments - "Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."
And on page 544 Chernow writes, "The perceptive Washington saw that "The Federalist" transcended journalism and would take on classic status, telling Hamilton that 'when the transient circumstances and fugitive performances which attended this crisis shall have disappeared, that work will merit the notice of posterity.'" This is an extraordinary line for two reasons. A) Washington's quick
brain obviously had no difficulty absorbing such deep material, and passing a quick judgment on "The Federalist" which proved to be exactly on the mark; and B) He shows us he could praise this great work in almost an ex cathedra manner. He presumes to rate the vast scholarship of Madison and Hamilton almost with a touch of condescension!
This, and more, in the Chernow biography, make me wonder why we have been told for centuries that Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin and Adams were all superior to the boss in intellect?

I really enjoyed your three hour segment today. Your humor and story telling really made the three hours pass quickly. I'm a bigger fan now than I was before. I will often buy the print version of the magazine. I will likely subscribe now.
