A friend writes:

I don’t know how the Greek columns look in person, but on TV they remind you of the Lincoln Memorial.

I can’t tell if that’s great, or way too morbid.

we all know it is staged - so, go all the way and STAGE it

Big audience, big show

I thought the columns were a reference to the LA Coliseum where Kennedy gave his nomination speech. The obvious theme of the week was Obama will continue the Kennedy legacy.
