Wisdom, says the Wise Man

The trouble with Nixon and Rumsfeld is not that they hadtoo much experience. In my view their character flaws (arrogance, paranoia,egotism, etc.) tended to negate their experience. To that I'd add, that thein life in general and certainly in government, one's success depends asmuch on the individual as on the people they choose as counselors andadvisers: "In the multitude of counsel is wisdom," says the Wise Man.
