Greatness

Today's paper honored two of our greatest, one from each party. Thomas S. Foley and Senator John McCain.

McCain's 36 years in government,  six terms in the senate, from Arizona. He was a war hero, not because he was captured, but because he withstood tremendous abuse after he refused to accept early release if he were the only one let go.

He then served in the senate, a man owned by nobody. He will be missed.

Tom Foley, a congressman from Eastern Washington, rose to speaker of the house. Highway 395 in Washington State, was renamed after him.

Both were giants, head and shoulders above the pack.
