In memory of a great man, installment 2
Who is this man? George Washington, of course, the man without whom America could not have achieved independence (or kept it). To honor our first president, we have chosen the above image, which is a life mask made of Washington and makes him come alive in the way that his many portraits (now irreversibly iconic in our minds) cannot, as well as this editorial in the Manchester Union Leader. For the best short book about Washington, we urge you to read Founding Father by Richard Brookhiser.
