"Character is destiny." -- Heraclitus, pre-Socratic philosopher

What tells you more about what kind of president a candidate would make:

a. Her positions on the nursing shortage, Social Security and internet decency; or

b. The way she responds under pressure?

I'm guessing that, like me, the great majority of people would opt for "b."

Ah, but the sensitive souls of the Boston Globe editoral board aren't the great majority of people. Their editorial of this morning, "A debate, not a prize fight," is one long vote for 'a.'

Thanks, SK. Sometimes I get carried away with the alliteration, but glad to know you thought this one worked!
