- It’s a record the administration can be proud of and the American people can be thankful for. And you didn’t mention foreign policy, restoring relations with allies, etc. I believe this will go down as the most consequential presidency since FDR. Let’s hope the voters recognize that in ten months.

- Congratulations. As an academic myself (now retired), I published a number of books. But nothing even remotely like this. Again, congratulations, and yes, thank you for my first-in-the-morning read (I guess I'm up later than usual or you posted earlier).
