And the pursuit of happiness.....

Now this is my kind of American history! From marvelous Maira Kalman , an illustrated column about American democracy in the NYTimes. Portraits of Jefferson and Franklin and others---full of insight and humor. Quirky though she is, her perceptions about the human condition have such depth. If you're having one of those days where you keep asking yourself, "What's the point?" (or even if you aren't), watch  this.
