A decade later, here's the striking postscript to DeMuth's paper.
No wonder, DeMuth concluded back in 2004, that governors reach the presidency so much more often.
Over the next 20 years, DeMuth built AEI into the most important think tank Washington had ever seen.
But DeMuth wanted to resume the writing he had sacrificed in order to raise the funds to support the work of others.
If anybody ever deserved an untroubled berth as an AEI scholar, it was DeMuth.
We cannot thank God enough that we are all well, only Mrs. Demuth is always sea-sick when the wind rises.
But demuth signifies "a likeness," or "the perfectness of an image."
