Burning Bushes

Much of the Outlook section in today's Post was given to predictions of Bush's legacy -- i.e., the worst president in history, or merely one of the worst? Five historians weighed in:

• Douglas Brinkley: "Move Over, Hoover"
• Eric Foner: "He's the Worst Ever"
• Vincent J. Cannato: "Time's on His Side"
• David Greenberg: "At Least He's Not Nixon"
• Michael Lind: "He's Only Fifth Worst"

And the magazine reprinted a brief excerpt in which Bush pere et fils share their views on class and privilege, revealing far more about themselves than they realize. The full article, from 1986, can be read here.
