...Ours is a time of pygmies being big-me's. Living in, as Francis Fukuyama correctly predicted, an era of unnerving placidity and thus ennui, we seek vicarious elevation by parasitically projecting ourselves onto the greats of the past. Morris's attempt--relentlessly inserting himself into the life of perhaps the last American world-historical figure and author of the most successful presidency of this half-century--is surely the most spectacular such exercise in parasitism. But it will not be the last.
