Il presidente che impara quello che dovrebbe già sapere

A sentire Karl Rove George W. Bush è un accanito lettore. Dopo avergli consigliato di leggere il Gattopardo, Richard Coehen conclude così:

My hat is off to Bush for the sheer volume and, often, high quality of his reading. But his books reflect a man who is seeking to learn what he already knows. The caricature of Bush as unread died today -- or was it yesterday? But the reality of the intellectually insulated man endures.
