To the Editor:
 Skipping all the heroes in the Shakespearean canon, president George
W. Bush now seems to have modelled himself on a minor character, the
thane of Cawdor of whom the bard said: "Nothing in his [political]
life became him like the leaving it." If--like Cawdor--he had
confessed his treasons, he would at least have left a clean stage on
which president Obama will undertake a very difficult role.
Barry Levine
