Attend to the details. Teach your children manners. Write cogent paragraphs. Drive carefully. And make a good potato salad, one with some crunch, maybe accompanied by a fried drumstick with crackly skin--the humble potato and the stupid chicken, ennobled by diligent cooking--and is this not the meaning of our beautiful country, to take what is common and enable it to become beautiful?
