Given the fact that his parents were a white woman in her late teens, not yet an adult by the standards of the era, and a black foreign exchange student with a personal history of alcoholism and bigamy, had abortion been legal in 1961, it seems likely that Stanley Ann Dunham would have counseled by some people to terminate her pregnancy.

John Edwards (N.C.) will have some sort of role in the Obama administration, if there is one. A few months ago, Edwards, the Democratic Party’s 2004 vice presidential candidate, seemed to pull himself out of the VP race. But then, a couple of weeks ago, Edwards quietly put himself back in, telling National Public Radio, “I’m prepared to seriously consider anything, anything [Obama] asks me to do for our country.” “Anything” could, of course, mean running for vice president.

But Napoleon overstayed history's welcome and was treated harshly for it, first by the Russians and Mother Nature, then by his own people and, ultimately, by historians.
