john halpin has done exceptional work at cap. liberals not surprisingly are not nearly as good as conservatives are in remembering, honoring and thinking about their own tradition. i think by their very nature conservatives are more inclined to think of what a tradition means. what john has done at cap on progressivism is truly important and i want to salute him and also his colleague. finally, matt spalding and i have also had a running argument for many years over the social gospel movement back in the turn of the century. so i feel -- and he has done some great work on that even though we don't always agree. and so what you have here are a whole lot of people obsessed with america in 1912. and we will try to show how that is entirely related to america in 2012. it is the centennial of that great election, and this election may be as important as that one was. and so i just want to thank everyone, and they know what the order is. i think sid is going next. >> hi, everybody. good afternoon. thank you so much for coming. bill, th
