The nation mourns a president’s vision
(12/02/18 11:52pm)
A kinder and gentler nation. This was the aspiration George H.W. Bush had in mind for the United States throughout his presidency. Since he left office, the U.S. has tried, and failed in some respects, to pursue his lofty goal. But we trust that to try, and to keep trying, is enough to honor the wish he could not see completed. Bush died on Friday at 94 years old after a series of hospitalizations. He followed his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush, who died in April at 92. He will be buried on the grounds of his presidential library at Texas A&M University after he lays in state at the Capitol Rotunda until Wednesday morning. Americans will have a chance to pay their respects to the 41st president, his leadership during the 1990s, his legacy and his vision.
