Optimism, Confidence, and Self-Aggrandizement

A short biography on Bob Dole has come into my possession. It is by a very good writer, Richard Ben Cramer, and it is called "The Faith to Endure." As I was glancing at this title I thought of another title, that of the recent Mitt Romney book: I think it was called "No Apologies." The titles struck me as being somehow similar to one another. Then my mind linked all of this to this one front page feature I saw in USA Today. It was all about optimism and how Americans are congenitally optimistic, etc.

All strikes me as somehow the same thing.
