An emergency economic summit in Europe brought direly needed relief to Greece and neighboring nations, but will it last—and is it enough? Meanwhile, on our side of the planet, a report from Congress showed that the richest 1 percent of Americans more than doubled their share of national income in the last 30 years.

Dear Mr. Host,

I didn’t know if I should say anything, but I’ve made up my mind and I truly believe that your brave centrist rant was just the right dose of centrism that this poor tired and if I may say so myself, guilty, country needs to hear.

You did not understate your point, and you did not overstate it. You hit just the right balance.

You know it. I know it. We the people all know it.

It was as brave a centrist statement as I have ever heard. Perhaps it was even a RADICAL centrist statement.

At any rate, may you sleep better at night.
