Click on the title for a link to an interesting article on Mitch Daniels the two term Governor of Indiana.
As a Civil War buff who first learned about the Civil War from historian Bruce Catton during the Civil War Centennial in the 1960's I love this quote from a in depth news story in the Weekly Standard:
and Daniels left me with what he said was one of his favorite quotations.
“I remember it from a book by Bruce Catton,” he said. “It’s a Union general commenting on Ulysses S. Grant. He said, ‘There was no nonsense, no sentiment; only a plain businessman of the republic, there for the one single purpose of getting that command across the river.’
“I like that. I like that a lot.”
