All of the attention given over the Time managing editor (since June 2006) Rick Stengel-engineered March 26 "new look," with Ronald Reagan's "shedding a tear" for conservative Republicans, was for its being reminiscent of The Economist covers.  But to us, it was reminiscent of the May 19, 2003, Jim Kelly-era cover of liberal Democrats longing for the Happy Days Are Here Again times of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.  Then, it was Democrats who were in the tank; now, it is the GOP, and it shows that American politics—like nearly everything in life—is cyclical.  Part of the charm of both Reagan and FDR was telling stories, and we will bet that somewhere up there they are sharing a few.
Meanwhile, the Spring 2007 issue of the Harvard-alumni-profiling 02138 takes a look at 1975 Harvard Law grad Mitt Romney and all of his subsequent flip-flopping as he seeks the 2008 GOP presidential nomination.  Barack Obama and Al Gore are both Harvard alums, and if any of the three should get elected president, he would be the first with a Harvard degree in the White House since...John F. Kennedy.
