CATCHING FEVER: For this election season, here's a quote from that astute observer of America, Alexis de Tocqueville, who after his visit to the U.S. in 1831 wrote: "As the election draws near, intrigues intensify, and agitation increases and spreads. The citizens divide into several camps, each behind its candidate.
A fever grips the entire nation. The election becomes the daily grist of the public papers, the subject of private conversation, the aim of all activity, the object of all thought, the sole interest of the moment" (from Joseph Epstein, Alexis de Tocqueville: Democracy's Guide [HarperCollins], excerpted in the Common Review, fall).
