Let’s start this week’s column with a couple of brief reviews of President Biden’s SOTU Address. One New York Times’ headline began, “In-Your-Face Biden Takes on Trump and His Own Doubters.”

Rather than trying to characterize the Times’ article, let it speak for itself: (Biden) “exhibited his stamina, his vitality, his capacity and, yes, his umbrage. Defiant and feisty, he dispensed with the conventions of the format to directly take on former President Donald J. Trump and attempted to make the election a referendum on his predecessor rather than himself. Mr. Biden shouted his lines, clearly intending to use volume to demonstrate vigor. The prepared text had 80 exclamation points in it and he surely added more on his own as he went along.”
