The <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Arizona?tid=informline">Arizona</A> Republican assured viewers that he wouldn't need to lean on his vice president, <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/George+W.+Bush?tid=informline">George W.

Most of the leaders of Senate committees had already graduated from college by the time TVs became widespread in American homes in the 1950s. As the United States advances into the information age, it can't afford to have its leaders' base of knowledge be rooted in the industrial era, lest their intellectual capacities come to resemble such relics as the decaying steel mills of <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Pittsburgh?tid=informline">Pittsburgh</A>.
