    Legislature
    • Election Year Session Convenes, pp. 5-6 - PDF
      But now and then a people in a particular moment of time are called upon to rise above the norm. Their chosen representatives, elevated from politics to statesmanship, make landmark decisions - and men for decades to come hark back to those decisions and are guided in their own deliberations.
