The ever-wise Peggy Noonan
"Mr. Kerry seems to me not a man of deep belief but of a certain amount of sentiment and calculation. One has the sense he is a liberal Democrat because of the time and place in which he was born, that he inhaled a worldview as opposed to struggling through to one."
What a marvelous turn of phrase! My entire first book describes a worldview achieved by walking on the ground of foreign lands as a route to learning. Worldviews achieved through struggling along seem so much more articulated than those received from "inhalation."
A quiz: Anyone remember the book that popularized the term "worldview" ? Post a comment if you do!
