George Allen, Scholar

On the rebound after a reference to a Democratic campaign worker as “macaca” delivered his Virginia Senate seat to Jim Webb, George Allen has been named the Young America’s Foundation “Reagan Ranch Presidential Scholar.” Personally, I admire the bold generosity of the Y.A.F. – the intellectual and policy talents of Mr. Allen have never been fully appreciated. His skills can now be employed where they are most needed and best suited – on the Board of Directors that oversees the management of a “Ranch.”
