Shorter David Brooks, "Mothers and Presidents", New York Times, April 8 2015:
If you're upset at the prospect of having to choose between another Bush and another Clinton in the 2016 elections, perhaps you're one of those Hobbesians who doesn't understand how life works, believing that societies are made up of individuals. Society is in fact made up of families, and the Bushes are just as it were the Bachs of politics, for whom each generation gets its 10,000 hours of practice simply by not running away from home. So it stands to reason. Also as my headline indicates I meant to say something about mothers, but I'm out of space.
