I'm not much of a fan of John Nichols and I didn't read his piece on Dean in The Nation. What I noticed, in leafing through my copy if the magazine, and what I think is important, in responding to charges by Michael Wolff and Tapped that Dean is the next McGovern, is the quote the editor chose to place in large type in the center of the fourth page to grab the reader's eye.

'I don't mind being characterized as a "liberal"-I just don't happen to think it's true."
