Good news came in today.
Good news came in today. Senator Jesse Helms announced his retirement at the end of next year. At long last, one of the most philistine figures in American politics is exiting the scene. I can only hope that his successor is an improvement. Elizabeth Dole (who next to Helms is almost liberal) is said to be a Republican candidate. The others are various state officials no one outside the state has heard of.
