If you look beyond the cover headline ?God Of All Things? ? which is sure to prompt reaction from Jon Sanders ? the latest Newsweek?s cover subheadline promises that the main story will explain ?why the modern presidency may be too much for one person to handle.?
Those who followed politics actively in the late 1970s, and those who?ve read much in recent years about the hot political topics in those years leading up to Ronald Reagan?s victory, will recognize that theme: Media outlets and pundits addressed the same topic during Jimmy Carter?s presidency.
It?s interesting that writer Daniel Stone makes no reference either to the Carter-era discussion of this ?too much for one person? meme or the disappearance of that meme from public debate once Reagan took office.
