Paul Johnson, whose recent TAS review is featured on today’s website, will receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom this Friday at a White House ceremony. Others to be honored with our nation’s highest civilian distinction include William Safire, David McCullough, Natan Sharansky, B.B. King, and — evidently following in the tracks of 2004 winners Paul Bremer, Tommy Franks, and George Tenet — Norman Mineta.
