“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play.

Its open lighted doorway and its windows all alight,
And all my friends were there and made me welcome too;

Among the dogs and horses that understand my talk.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
