Sinopsis

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Newsweek columnist takes on the presidents Bush, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, Y2K, 9/11, trickle-down economics, Brooks Brothers suits, the essence of golf, and of course, those damn Yankees.'It has taken me sixty years to identify the three keys to a happy life,' writes George Will. 'A flourishing family, hearty friends, and a strong bullpen.' The title of this book -- Will?s seventh collection of newspaper and magazine pieces, book reviews, speeches, and occasional writings -- is taken from the W. H. Auden poem 'The Horatians,' which dictates that we look at this world with a happy eye but from a sober perspective.And so it is with a happy eye indeed that Will shares his vision of America just before and after the birth of the twenty-first century. Featuring five years? worth of observations on politics, current affairs, and international relations, With a Happy Eye But...is a brilliantly diverse collection from America?s most widely known commentator at his sober, happy, and controversial best.
