On December 31, 2006 on C-SPAN2, I heard part of a presentation by Harlow Giles Unger on his new book on George Washington. I found the presentation wise, sincere, impassioned and delightful. Almost every story and fact was new to me. It appears that George Washington was an inventor, a solid businessman, and in most ways a genuinely good person. Great leaders do not have to be good people in order to be great leaders, but it is nice when they are.
